    Removing Windows 7 from dual boot


    Hi

    I've had a quick look to see if anything comes up on this topic but so far have not found anything. I'm pretty sure it must have come up at some time but I just haven't found it so apologies for posting the question again.

    I have a spare PC running Win7 and Win10 in a dual boot configuration. However, I am now in a position to remove Windows 7 completely and make do solely with Windows 10 -- but how do I do it? Currently I do not have a reserved partition for the boot files; all my boot files are in the Windows 7 partition. In addition, the Windows 7 partition is the Active partition. So how should I go about removing Windows 7? Any help would be most appreciated.

    Thanks.
    Tracey

    :)

    After you move the boot files as @Sqrly posted, then you can run the command msconfig, select the boot tab, and delete the entry for Windows 7 from the boot menu.
