So, Windows 8 is here and most of us like always have thought of trying it first in dual boot before changing completely from present windows 7 of Vista or XP.
Now for whatever reason you want to remove it from dual boot.
1. Bott into second OS (XP, VISTA OR 7)
2. Open the run command (Win Key + R) and type msconfig and press enter.
This will open the system configuration utility and select the boot tab.
3. Here you can see the Windows 8 installation. Select it and then click on the Delete button. If your Windows 8 was the default boot OS, then make sure you set the other available OS as default using the “Set as Default” button. Now you can format the partition where Windows 8 files were stored.
Uninstalling Windows 8 from Clean Install:
If you have clean installed Windows 8 without any other OS on your PC, you can simply remove it by installing any other OS on top of it from the boot menu. Boot menu allows you to format any drive and install Windows again. When you do this, make sure you have kept a backup of all the files on your Windows 8 installation.
Warning : If you have upgraded to Windows 8 from Windows 7 or XP, there is no option to downgrade it. So think before you take this step. Though you won’t regret it.
