I have a new machine (Dell T3600) delivered with Win 7 Pro. I purchased a Win 8 Pro OEM CD and setup a dual boot which is working just fine however;
I would like to know how I can undo this and return to the simple boot to Win 7 Pro without damaging the existing Win 7 Pro installation.
There is nothing in the Win 8 Pro instance which has any value.
Win 7 is configured as the preferred boot-to OS.

Is it as simple as reformatting the Partition on which Win 8 Pro is installed from Win 7 Disk Management or is it more complicated?



 
Thanks for that Chris. I will let you know how I get on if and when I try it.
