Is it possible to remove Linux from a Linux/Windows bundle?
Hello, I have a successfully working Linux Mint/Windows bundle. Most of the time I spend on Windows because of work, and in this bundle, in order to get into it, you need to normally wait until the grub bootloader pops up, then select the OS. Before that, Windows was exclusively installed and loaded with a bang within 5 seconds (MSI PS42 Modern 8RC laptop).
Is it possible to painlessly (however difficult) remove Linux from this bundle? Or, in general, the best option would be the ability to extract and transfer the operating system to an external drive.

Yes, you can, boot into any Live distribution and wipe all the Linux partitions to hell, then stretch the Windows partitions to the free space.
Then boot into Windows recovery mode and restore the bootloader, Google is full of instructions.
Option two (easier): first boot into recovery mode and restore the bootloader, then demolish all partitions with Linux in the real system.
Well, according to the mind, you would need to install the Windows bootloader, then the Linux partition can also be crashed
as an option, in Ubuntu it seems the bootloader is on a separate partition, and if you don’t touch it, but crash the rest of the Linux ones, then everything should be OK, most likely
