The Tutorial we will see below applies to any Linux operating system, such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Elementary OS or any other Linux distributions.

If you think that it is difficult to install Ubuntu and Windows 8 in dual-boot mode, and removing Ubuntu from Windows dual-boot is very simple, your idea is not completely wrong. If you have a Windows Installation medium, it is easy to Uninstall Linux from Windows Dual Boot.

This tutorial will teach you howInstallation media for Windows 8/8. 1In Windows 8 or 8.1.

Securely uninstall Ubuntu from Windows 8

It doesn't matter if you have any media installed on Windows 8 or if you have installed Windows 8.1 on your system. It also works well. But I cannot say it is the same on Windows 7. If you have a Windows installation disk, let's start removing the Ubuntu process from the Windows Dual Boot.

To delete a Linux instance from a dual-boot server, there are two parts. The first part is to delete the partition where the Linux installation is located. The second part is to fix Windows boot. Simply deleting a Linux partition will cause the "Grub rescue" error.

Part 1: Delete Linux partitions in Windows

Step 1:

Log on to Windows. PressWindows + RThen run the diskmgmt. msc command. It will open the Windows disk management tool.

Step 2:

After you install Linux, you can easily identify Linux partitions by size. Another prompt for distinguishing Linux partitions is to find partitions without the file system and drive volume labels. Windows partitions are usually marked with volumes, such as C, D, E, and NTFS or FAT file systems.

As you can see, I have three Linux partitions here, Because I separately created the root partition (swap) when installing Ubuntu) home Directory (home ).

Step 3: Step 3:

Select Linux partition, right-click and selectDelete volume.

If a warning occurs, select Yes here.

Step 4: Step 4:

The deleted partition becomes an available free space. You can use it to expand an existing volume or create a new Windows partition. I would suggest you create a new drive, volume, or partition, whatever you call it), because it would be easier if you want to enable both Linux and Winodws in the future.

Part 2: Fixed Windows boot Guide

Once you delete the Linux partition, it is time to fix the Windows boot guide. The image here may not seem very clear, because it is much easier to log on to the screen in Ubuntu than in Windows. I took these photos with my cell phone camera.

Step 1:

Insert Windows 8 installation media and restartYour computer. Press F10 or F12 at startup to enter BIOS/UEFI and selectStart from removable media (boot from removable disk).

Step 2:

Select repair your computer ):

Step 3:

Select Troubleshoot here ):

Step 4:

On the troubleshooting page, select Advanced options ):

Step 5:

Find the command prompt (command prompt ):

Step 6:

Run the following command in the command line to fix Windows boot:

 
 

  
  
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
 
 

Normally, it takes effect immediately and you don't even need to wait.

Step 7:

Once this step is completed, restart your computer and start from the hard disk normally this time. You should be able to start Windows. If you still see the Grub rescue error, try the following steps.

Step 8: if the method in Step 6 does not work

If the command in Step 6 does not work, try the Automatic Repair Option in advanced troubleshooting.

It takes some time to locate the problem and fix it.

Now, if you restart, you should be able to access Windows normally without any Grub rescue error messages.
