Hello, I'm currently running Windows 8 on a partition I created a while ago from the original OEM OS, Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP desktop. I tried to create extend the original Windows 7 partition so I could triple-boot windows 8.1, but it would not let me, and from what I looked up it said I could not have more than 4 partitions. So what I'm asking is that when I'm install windows 8.1, is it OK to delete my original windows 7 primary partition and install it over that? Because I read some stuff where if you delete your primary partition your computer won't boot. Here is a screenshot of my desk management:
