Reinstalling Windows
I did a clean install of Bazzite and don’t like it on the Legion Go. I’m trying to reinstall windows, but I’m not able to see my USB drive in the boot menu or button right menu bar. However, I do see it in Partition Manager. I have tried secure boot on and off and still no luck. Any tips? Thanks.

If you open KDE partition manager, check if your USB drive is using a GPT partition table. Otherwise the bootable media will be unseen from the BIOS if you only allowing UEFI devices. Also what tool are you using for making the bootable USB drive? I usually use Ventoy (and explicitly set the partition table to be GPT).
Okay. I download the Lenovo Recovery system on my desktop to create the Windows install.
Will I need to download Ventoy on my desktop or my Legion Go?

Either works, but it might make sense to use your desktop as you are more familar with Windows
i believe the lenovo recovery is an exe file or something, meaning it only works in windows for creating a recovery usb.
if you do not have access to a windows machine to make that usb then i would suggest you download windows 11 home, install that on the legion go and then make the recovery usb through that. (or install the legion space software and it will take care of the drivers and such for you)
Update. Everything work that you all suggested. I’m currently stuck at Error Code 0x800f081f. Looking for a way to fix it.
Thank for take the time to answer my questions.
Not familiar with that error I don't use windows.
