Forum Thread: Deleting Windows 8.1 Pro

I've tried deleting it the "proper way". Through system recovery. Every time it says "some require files missing. Please insert disk". Well I don't have the disk. I can find no other way to delete windows off my computer. This 8.1 is an absolute joke. I have to get it off my computer. Any other options? Someone suggested deleteing the partition but I cannot find any online tutorials on how to do that as I am not an expert.

Did you try just formatting the hard drive?

If and that is a BIG if. I can format the drive. Would I be able to install windows 7 from an ISO cd?

Yes, but you will lose all your data.

Here is a tutorial on how to delete a partition. Make sure that you have allowed your computer to boot from CD or USB

I'm totally fine losing all data. Intact that is what I want. Jasper. How do I allow my computer to boot from cd!

Go into BIOS and under security, allow boot from other media.
