How to Boot ISO Files from GRUB2 Boot Loader
Windows uses some weird install process where it needs two partitions for the install media. Basically the whole installation is too big for FAT32 so IIRC the way to have it work is to split the ISO in two having the bootable part on one partition and a lot of the installation content on another.

Install Windows the Arch Linux Way
https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB - you give it an MS iso and where to put it on a USB stick and it will do the job using NTFS, which doesn't have snags with >4GB files.

How do I switch to windows from pop os?
Download, install and use woeusb to flash the ISO file to a thumb drive. Then boot from the thumb drive (you might have to use the BIOS boot menu to choose USB boot) and install windows onto the main storage device. You will likely have to use the Windows installer formatting tool before you can choose the installation destination.

I know that Pop os doesn't recommend installing tlp because it might interfere with system-76 power, Is it the same for something like powertop or auto-cpufreq?

NUC X15 abnormal temperature while running Linux
The device had only been purchased ~1-2 months ago so I don't think that dust in the fans would be an issue (as suggested in another post; Intel NUC's overheating - Solution!). The installation of Linux is more or less fresh, the only thing (I think) installed that would affect temperatures is auto-cpufreq (which has slightly lowered temperatures).
