How to Uninstall CloudReady or boot to a new OS liike Remix OS or Windows 7? (I'm desperate for Android or .exe Apps)

I have a laptop that malfunctioned badly after upgrading to Windows 10 without my knowledge and permission. I then took the opportunity to look for a free OS that could help me out.

I went for CloudReady because I saw YouTube tutorials that say it will revive my laptop with a Chrome-Based OS.
After installing, I was happy that my laptop was back, but was sad that it could not run Android Apps which was promised to be part of Chrome OS.

It was fine at first, but now my other gadgets are broken and I am now desperate for an OS that runs Android or .exe apps.

I've been trying to boot Window 7 from a usb and even a CD but it won't work.
I can't even run .iso files, making it more difficult to look for other OS to run other apps that I need like Photoshop and Paint Tool Sai.

None of the methods mentioned in this link, even from the comments worked:

Please help me. :(

    Hi,

     

    No OS can "run" an ISO file - they need to be 
    "burned" to a USB or CD/DVD or SD card using special software.

     

    The Chrome Recovery Utility in our guide is a great example of something you can do this job with. Follow the same steps for using it as found in the guide (you can do this all within CloudReady) but use your Windows 7 ISO instead of a cloudready file. (You'll need to use a USB or SD card - CloudReady isn't built to interact with discs).

    hey, I have the same issue with my brother's laptop

    Chromebook recovery ulitility does not recorgnize Windows ISO file. How can I select the ISO file using Chromebook Recovery Ulitilities within Cloudready to burn it to USB.

    Maybe just edit the ISO file to be a ".bin" and see if that does the trick

    I will try doing this because my brother does not like Chrome OS at all though he only use his PC to surf on the web.

    Renaming the ISO extension to bin will let you burn a Windows 10 image to a USB stick using the Recovery Utility.

    It did let me burn the recovery image to the usb stick.  The laptop still does not recognize the windows 10 usb.  Reverts to Cloudready.
