I have a PC currently configured to dual boot Windows 10 and Linux Mint. I don’t need Windows anymore, but Mint is working just fine and I’d rather avoid wiping the whole thing and starting over. Is there a safe way to just get rid of Windows?

    I generally agree, but the best way to use the extra partition might be to keep it as a reserve to install the next Distribution release. So you go

    partition A: Ubuntu 2024.10

    Partition B: /home

    Partition C: Ubuntu 2025.04

    And swap A and C for the next upgrade. It is really nice to have a whole compatible fallback system.
