Are you intending to replace Ubuntu with Windows, or are you hoping to be
able to "dual boot" (boot into Windows OR Ubuntu) or are you intending to
install Windows into a VM such as Virtualbox or Boxes, to run Windows as a
"guest OS" with Ubuntu as the "host"?

Each of these options requires different procedures. For example, if I
recall correctly, I didn't need to put the Windows ISO on a USB drive at
all to install it into Virtualbox. I think I was able to "mount" the iso
from Virtualbox.
