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.
