you'll love ultimate edition once u get it all set up on a pc of its own, i've been playing with linux for a few years now and its just got constantly better, i only keep windows around as im a gamer still and thats the only area that i have found linux lacking in, but thats not the fault of linux.
easiest way would be to backup any data you need then just stick the windows disc in and format / reinstall that way
I have my eye on you, you are a smart fella. Allow me to make a suggestion, since the guy is a newb to linux & nothing wrong with that I would suggest a windows based tool. I suggest only freeware or opensource even where windows is involved, yes they exist
http://www.partition-tool.com/easeus-pa ... tition.htmI recently had to resize my at the time 1.5TB drive to 1.8TB we are talking alot of information & had no desire to lose anything. At the time I had windows installed and utilised that tool to make such happen. Sure gparted could have handled the same task. I want users to understand I do not turn my back even on the users of windows. I am not biased
