How do I go from Windows to Linux?

More Information

  • Remove native, swap, and boot partitions used by Linux: Start your computer with the Linux setup floppy disk, type fdisk at the command prompt, and then press ENTER.
  • Install Windows. Follow the installation instructions for the Windows operating system you want to install on your computer.

Can I replace Windows with Linux?

While there really isn’t anything you can do about #1, taking care of #2 is easy. Replace your Windows installation with Linux! Windows programs typically will not run on a Linux machine, and even the ones that will run using an emulator such as WINE will run slower than they do under native Windows.
