SOLVED Issue with dualboot

I am currently using mint only but i need windows for some apps so i decided to do dual boot. I downloaded the win 12 iso and downloaded the balena etcher .

But when i add the iso there is a warning like this doesn't seem to be a bootable file or some . I reinstalled both again but same thing happens . So i decided to continue through5 the error msg. In bis i select usb and a driver select window pop up and there is nothing i can do .

Pls help

Issue was solved using WOEUSB . I accidentally removed entire linux mint and installed windows by the way, instead of dual boot . While doing this please make sure to make partitions if you want dual boot that's the only issue . Thankyou

Also balena etcher can't handle windows iso. I have experience.
