Ola, so this may sound like a dumb question or whatever, but I just want to be reassured this is how I do it because, well, nevermind lol.

Anyways, I'm wanting to remove w7 from my w8, w7 dual boot, would I just format the w7 partition then fix the dual boot options or w/e using easybcd?

Hello Joshy,

Yep, while in Windows 8, you would delete/format the Windows 7 partition, then remove the Windows 7 entry in msconfig "Boot" tab using the tutorials below in Windows 8. You may need to also check to make sure that Windows 8 is set as the default OS to boot to at startup.


However, could you post a screenshot of your Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) screen first to make sure that the Windows 7 partition is not also your boot partition.
