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.

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.
