Is it possible to uninstall Linux like this?

Question

linux

Windows and Ubuntu are on the same hard drive. When you turn on the computer, you can choose which axis to load. If I go to Windows and delete the Ubuntu partition, can I completely remove Linux and leave only Windows?

Answer 1

You can. Only there is a chance that Windows won't boot. It all depends on the bootloader, if GRUB or another Linux one is used, you will need to overwrite the MasterBootRecord or otherwise restore the Windows bootloader

Answer 2

you will have to look for materials on restoring windows bootloaders
and look for and restore, you need to before you demolish Ubuntu
- well, that is, find several options for instructions, with God's help, understand which one suits you exactly))
- prepare everything
- and perform recovery
after that Ubuntu will become just an unbootable partition. then you can do whatever you want
if you experiment with multiboot in the future, in the comment under Germanjon's answer , there is additional information that can be useful
in particular, after restoring Windows bootloaders, using Easy BCD, you can reanimate Ubuntu boot, as an exercise, if interesting ))
although most likely you will have to install grub2 directly into the Ubuntu partition. but it's quite possible, with the help of any mana, to restore grub2 in Ubuntu (but it's important not to forget the target partition ;))

Answer 3

Yes, you can, but you will also need to remove the ubuntu bootloader, this can be done in advance before deleting the partitions loaded into windows, assign the boot drive letter to the partition that is usually hidden and delete the ubuntu bootloader image. Everything will now be loaded only windows. and you can delete partitions from ubuntu. How this is done step by step on the network has been repeatedly discussed.
