How do you safely remove Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) from a dual boot with Windows 8.1 Pro (64-bit):confused:
I'm quite happy with Windows 8.1 Pro alone :)
The scenario:
Both are on the same hard drive (a SATA).
Windows 7 was on the hard drive initially. I installed Windows 8.1 on a new partition (which i made from shrinking the Drive C:\)
But since Windows 7 was the original operating system, I had some concern about losing the Master Boot Record(bootloader configuration data) that Windows 7 had established on the drive.
To address this, I've researched quite a few forums about this matter and this is the best i found.

So I'm a bit perplexed and hope that the good experts here could steer me in the right direction with a step-by-step.
Thanks for your insights and guidance. Here's a screenshot of my disk management btw:)
