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.
Not seen this done manually before. Neat idea!
