jasonadam Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Here is my issue; I have Windows 7 and Windows 8 on one hard drive as a dual boot. In order, Windows 7 is first and Windows 8 is second. I am running out of space on my Windows 8 partition and would like to remove Windows 7 completely to utilize that space for Windows 8. My question is how can I remove Windows seven on the first partition without messing up Windows 8 and boot up? I've had major issues before with a dual boot of XP and Windows 7. When removing XP I could not boot into anything since I had taken out the boot files. I have access to usb sticks of 4 gigs each but no space to back anything up. I do not need anything from Windows seven so no need to back anything up from it. Thanks for the help in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Basically you remove the partition you want to delete from the boot manager (using msconfig), then delete the partition.Have a full backup of your system in case anything goes wrong.
