I have a PC currently configured to dual boot Windows 10 and Linux Mint. I don’t need Windows anymore, but Mint is working just fine and I’d rather avoid wiping the whole thing and starting over. Is there a safe way to just get rid of Windows?

Some software doesn’t run on Linux.
Some software doesn’t run on windows. How’s that related to the op’s question?
Get rid of Windows, lose access to Windows only software.
First of all this isn’t accurate. Second, you have no idea what op uses. Third, who simps for Windows?
I was already onboard. You don’t have to keep trying to sell it.
You are all missing out on all those AI integrations, smhing my head
Yesterday, I had to deal with Windows and I noticed that the top option on the right-click menu was Copilot. It’s getting worse and worse apparently.
I had a ‘work emergency’ that turned out to be Office spamming advertisements for Copilot’s Office integration.
They thought something was wrong with their account. Nope, Microsoft being scumbags and making advertisements look like system messages.
I see someone missed the virtual machine memo.
Not a problem for me. All the software I need is either available as native Linux or runs ok under Wine.
I’m ready to ditch Windows entirely at this point. I just need to find the best way to do that, without having to rebuild the Linux side of my dual boot PC.
Why do you try to make Linux seem unusable? It’s not “Linux”'s fault proprietary software doesn’t work on it. Would you criticize GNOME, KDE Plasma etc. and any of the gazillion other pieces of software exclusive to Linux for not working on W*ndows to reach a wider audience next?
It’s basically only proprietary garbage tho.
but also, some software does
