so i just did a little searching and i found that you can go into advanced system settings under start up and recovery by clicking the windows key+x, then click system.click advanced tab.Under startup and recovery click settings.where it says "default operating system" click your version of windows that you want to use from the drop down list.However,this method only seems to hide the other operating system,not uninstalling it.


This method that i have found however seems to remove it completely:


How to uninstall Windows 7 from your Windows 7 / Windows 8 Dual Boot computer:
1) Backup your recent Windows Windows 8 data files to the USB drive.
2) Download and install EasyBCD in Windows 8
3) Use EasyBCD ‘Edit Boot Menu’ option to change the ‘Default’ OS to Windows 8 and remove Windows 7 from the boot menu.


Change the Timeout Option from 30 seconds to ‘Skip the boot menu’.
4) Verify that you can boot to Windows 8.
5) Open Disk Management and delete the Windows 7 partition.

6) Use Partition Wizard Home Edition to extend the Windows 8 partition to include the "Unallocated" space formerly
