Thread: Moving to Ubuntu from Windows tentatively :)

good afternoon,

have been searching forums not seeing clear answers questions. long term windows user, no surprise. friend put me on ubuntu , far loving it.

2 questions really.

2) once decide remove windows 7 , kill dual boot, can delete windows partition , resize ubuntu takes over?

for things virtualisation works extremely well, not gaming. virtualisation of 3d graphics cards in infancy, , performance poor. if have games work best on windows, keep windows side of dual boot. windows excellent gaming platform, no harm in using it's best at.

play games don't require decent 3d performance in vm.

yep, if like. you'd boot live disk/usb , delete partition, expand ubuntu one(s) gap.
