Hi,

currently, there are three OSes installed on my laptop. Deepin 15.3, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 (which i would like to completly remove). Is there anything i need to before and after removing Windows 10 (beside removing it's fstab entry and deleting it's partition)?

*Windows 8.1 is only mentioned here as it is installed on my computer. I have asked Microsoft Community about this on Windows 8.1's side.

Hello. If you are using the Deepin grub bootloader and uninstall W10 from Deepin OS using "gparted" or similar tool, I would suggest you update Deepin grub bootloader before you reboot.

OK, but i don't think, it would be necessary, since starting from Windows 8, Microsoft has it's own bootloader and it is shown in Deepin's GRUB as Windows Bootloader (I only want to remove Windows 10, Win8.1 will remain untouched). So basically Windows 8.1 dual-boots with Windows 10 using their own bootloader, that can be selected from within Deepin's GRUB.

Hi. You should be good to go then after deleting W10. Good luck.
