Solved

Hello, I've been using GRUB (dual boot) for booting on my PC for a few years, even though I only use Windows.

First, I would like to check that there are no unwanted Linux partitions lingering on my PC and then make my PC boot directly into Windows.

For now, the workaround I have to do every time is type "exit" from this terminal: No description available.

Hi

"a few years"

Isn't it easier to do a clean Win 11 install on a good fast SSD in good condition with a proper format?

I believe Windows likes to be installed first.

It should be possible, but if we don't do it often, the hardware will last for several years.

Don't forget, above all:

"If at this stage you do not yet have a backup of your entire system, there is still time to stop everything to make one."

Tutorial, be sure to follow the order of operations:

Hello,

The question has nothing to do with an SSD, with the supposed love affairs of Windows (the order is such that most Linux distributions allow installation to preserve the Windows bootloader, whereas the reverse is not true), and fortunately has nothing to do with a backup followed by a format.

At best, we can hope that a Windows repair or reinstallation on itself overwrites the BCD, but it's quicker and safer to follow the relevant steps of the highlighted link.
