Switching to Linux? Remove Windows from the Linux boot menu.
Linux is usually installed alongside Windows first. Linux is kind enough to set up a boot loader, Grub. Here we can then select which operating system we want to start.
However, if we have decided to do without Windows completely, we naturally want the boot menu to be customised accordingly and Windows to be removed. How do we do that?
With a UEFI bios, we go to the “boot” folder in our Linux.
Here we find a folder “efi”, in which we then find, for example, our Linux folder, in my case “ubuntu” and also a folder “Microsoft”.
We simply delete this, alternatively we can of course also make a backup.
We then execute the command sudo update-grub. This updates the boot loader. After the restart, the Windows entry will have disappeared.
