Removing Windows 7 and Replacing it With UbuntuĪssuming you’ve been able to successfully burn an ISO image of your preferred flavor of Ubuntu to a USB memory stick or SDHC card, you can either select install or try Ubuntu from the menu. This includes pure Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu and Ubuntu-MATE. The installation instructions are identical for any of the variants of Ubuntu that feature graphical shells.
This is also a great way to clean malware off an installation since you’ll be exterminating the old matrix. While you won’t need to zero out your drive in most cases, what you’ll be doing is enough to render your data useless. You’ll first want to make sure you’ve used Windows Explorer or the Windows command line to copy everything you want to keep to a USB memory stick or a cloud storage account. You can just as easily eliminate the old operating system. Most Ubuntu installation instructions focus primarily on how to dual-boot Ubuntu, but this is by no means a requirement.
Whether you’ve finally decided to make the jump to a pure Linux environment or you’re revitalizing a laptop with a damaged install of Windows 7, you can completely remove everything currently installed on the drive and replace it with the new operating system.
