Need to remove Vista and have Windows 7 installed
Hello,
I have Vista and Windows 7 installed and I'm trying to remove Vista so that I can just have Windows 7 on the machine. Here's a screen shot of my current Disk Management. Can someone please provide some assistance...very basic since it has been YEARS since I've had to do this myself. Thanks!

Oddly I was just looking at this,
https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-windows-7-a.html But depending on if you have a disk with win-7 on it the process might differ a bit, How did you get win-7 a upgrade disk or oem or retail disk ? https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/31402-clean-install-upgrade-windows-7-version.html |

It is a retail disk, but it looks like it's an 'Upgrade' version. Not sure if this makes a difference?
That link is great, but I'm afraid that I will mess up this computer since there's 2 partitions. |

Yes you will need to merge the two partitions and format, #8's process on the first tutorial,
https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-windows-7-a.html Then boot to the win-7 disk, I'm actually inquiring about a similar issue with only 13 gig's in front of C instead of you having vista on it as for the exact process.

Assuming your C has Vista and your D has win-7,
If you notice my space in front of C is Unallocated, Here is the complete tutorial I was looking at before, Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command |

Open an elevated cmd and type:
bcdboot c:\windows /s c: diskpart sel vol c act exi. Close cmd prompt, then reboot. You can then delete D and extend C using diskmgmt. (If you have stuff on D you want to keep, then shrink d and create another partition. Copy what you want from d onto the newly created partition, before deleting d.) |

The commands SIW2 gave should move the System flag to Win7 partition. Then you can delete Vista.
Elevated Command Prompt Partition or Volume - Delete Partition or Volume - Extend Let us know how it goes. There are other methods. |
