Hey guys, I’ve been using Linux Mint and Windows 11 via a dual boot setup on two laptops for a while.

I hardly ever use Windows 11, except on my work laptop, so I want to delete it from my personal laptop.

How can I do this? What is the safest and easiest way, and what should I bear in mind?

Thank you in advance for your answers, and have a sunny day!

    Put a GParted ISO on a thumb drive using Rufus or BalenaEtcher, in your BIOs change the boot order so that GParted boots first, boot into GParted an then readjust/delete your partition as you need be.

    Pretty straightforward for the most part.

        I honestly never tried Ventoy myself so I can’t really give you a proper answer to this however, after reading into it I see no reason why it wouldn’t work? So long as GParted can access the systems disks there shouldn’t be an issue.

        yes. and you can just use any distro that has gparted, like >!Ubuntu!< or similar.
