    Hello HELPMEPls, welcome to Seven Forums!



    Have a look at this tutorial at the link below, after you remove Linux you may need to mark the Windows partition Active and do the 3 separate startup repairs to get Windows booting again and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.


    Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times



    BTW, please don't multi post, the other one will be removed.

    Go into Custom, or Edit, and delete everything that you see. Then, just create a new partition and install Windows to it.

    You cannot install Windows onto the Linux partition, as it's ext3 or 4.

    I hope you Backed Up your Data.

    All Linux code must be deleted.As you have had linux on the HD you need do a Clean all & full format.
    Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command

    DISKPART
    LIST DISK
    SELECT DISK # (win HD)
    CLEAN ALL
    CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
    SELECT PARTITION 1
    ACTIVE
    FORMAT fs=NTFS
    ASSIGN
    EXIT
    EXIT
