Hello
I have a PB iXtreme X6620 UK which when I had it had Windows 7 Home
64-bit installed. The C: drive consisted of 3 partitions, PQSERVICE,
SYSTEM RESERVED and the rest of the drive with Win7.
I installed Windows 7 Professional, but left the partitions as they
were. The SYSTEM RESERVED partition is marked as active. Am I correct
in assuming that bootup starts with the SYSTEM RESERVED partition as
the active one ?
Since I will never revert to Win7 Home, I want to remove these first
two partitions and extend the WIn7 Pro partition to cover them and
make this partition active.
If I do this, will this affect the system booting ? Will I have to
reset MBR ? Will I have to modify the BIOS to boot from the new active
partition?
Any adviced gratefully received
TIA

You can just backup the programs and pertinent info also
Fresh install than use backup
I myself would then add Ubunto as a 2nd OS
It is virtually hack proof
You can run windows programs on it
You will learn new things
