Is there anything in _that copy_ of Windows that you want? If not: You can download perfectly legal full ISOs of Win10 from MS itself. Extract the product key and keep it (e.g. with ProduKey, freeware) and just nuke it. Otherwise, run Windows Disk Cleanup, run CHKDSK /F, empty the bin etc. defrag it, then shrink the partition using Windows Disk Management to as small as it will go, and install Lubuntu in a logical drive in the free space. -- Liam Proven • Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • Google Mail/Talk/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven • Skype/LinkedIn/AIM/Yahoo: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 • ČR/WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal: +420 702 829 053 -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
