I accidentally deleted Windows 11 pro partition on Geekom A7

I accidentally deleted Windows 11 pro partition on Geekom A7 when trying dual booting with Linux mint.  Hopefully I can reinstall windows 11 pro by using a boot-able USB but for some reason even tho I downloaded a new windows 11 iso it was reported it had no partition table. I still created a boot-able USB  it turn out to be non boot-able. I can still use the computer using Linux mint however I cannot find a way of creating a boot-able Windows pro USB.  Plus I do not know if I could, would it still be able to detect that I had a legal copy of windows pro and allow me to install it. I found advice about using media creation tool or windows 11 installation assistant, but can't because I have no installed windows. As said Linux still works windows does not. I would be grateful for any help. thanks Dave

    If you were using a digital license linked to your Microsoft account, Windows 11 should activate automatically once the installation is completed and you are connected to the internet.
