How do I uninstall Windows 7?

[Spiffey]

I recently bought an SSD and added it to my build in junction with my Hard Drive. I installed windows on it and made it the boot priority. However, I would like to uninstall windows from my Hard Drive as I am only using it for storage now. How do I do this? Thanks in advance.

It's best if you just reformat it.

Back up any important and personal files. Reformat the drive. Put the files back. Done.

first install windows on the SSD. then boot from the SSD with the HDD installed and delete the windows folder and any program related folders, as you will have to reinstall any programs, as they would not work properly if you attempted to run them from the old windows installation

 

if you can format the drive, that is a better option, but simply deleting everything other than the files you want to keep, after you have installed windows on the new SSD would be sufficient.

reformat

1. Search diskpart in Windows (press windows key)

2. Type list disk

3. Select the drive you want to format

4. Type clean

5. You're done!

 

Then you go to disk management, and add a letter to the drive.

You don't uninstall OS'. You either delete all related files (grude and leaves hidden stuff behind) or format (so clean and simple).

Won't formatting my hard drive erase all of its content? It still has all my main files and applications for storage on it.
