I have windows 7 installed on my C: drive and windows 8.1 installed in my E: drive. windows 7 turned out to be a non legitimate copy so it shut down. I have a multiboot start but windows 7 is unusable. Can i remove, uninstall or just format the c: drive? All programs have been re installed in win 8 on E: drive. Your help would be appreciated before i do something i cant undo.
Thanks
 
If you have everything re installed on your E drive (win 8.1) then yes you can just format the C drive (win 7) and use it for storage. I would recommend turning off the computer and unplugging your E drive just so you don't format it accidently.
