Table of contents:

If you decide that you no longer need Ubuntu, it is better to uninstall it, as it takes up precious disk space. Removing Ubuntu is easier if there is only one operating system installed on the computer. If you still have Windows, then everything is a little more complicated. We will tell you how to proceed in both of these cases.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: How to uninstall Ubuntu if you have Windows

Step 1. Insert the Windows installation disc into the drive

You can use a system repair disc instead. If you don't have one, you can create one.

Step 2. Boot from disk

To do this, change the boot priority settings (to boot from disk) in the BIOS. To do this, press the F2 button, or F10, or F12, or Del when starting the computer. After selecting the boot priority, save your changes and restart your computer.

Step 3. Open a command prompt from the installation disc menu

Select the "Repair your computer" option. A command prompt will open.

Step 4. Correct the boot record

When you enter the command below, when you turn on the computer, the system will not prompt you to select an operating system. Enter the command:


bootrec / fixmbr

Step 5. Restart your computer

There should be no system selection options, the Windows operating system should boot immediately.
