Hey GBATemp, I installed Ubuntu a few months ago, and I'm realizing that I don't really need GRUB. I have Windows 7 Bootloader with an entry for Ubuntu, I would prefer to go back to that without deleting that entry.

Thanks.

I recommend you use easyBCD for bootloader management, its an easy to use and useful program :)

Or you could just use the Win 7 DVD to fix the bootloader so that would remove the linux grub.

Using a Windows 7 Repair Disc would work fine, all you usually need to do is have it "detect problems" and it'll replace grub with MBR, however sometimes this doesn't work so you need to do it manually with the cmd prompt using the...
Code:
bootrec /FixMBR
if I remember that correctly..

I was going to do that, but I wasn't sure if that would delete my Ubuntu entries...

EDIT: I have EasyBCD, but haven't used it much and I would probably prefer to just to it with the CD.

    @BigOnYa well, starting with, idk which emulator should i use for switch, i got a gtx 1650, do you know which one would it better for my pc?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    The switch emulators on pc rely on your CPU mostly, and they only use a single core, so GPU not as important as a good CPU. I don't use switch emulator, but many here do, and willing to help.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @K3Nv2 do you want to chime in, don't you use yuzu or ryujinx? Which do you prefer?

    @Morganna I'd say try them both, and see which work better for your setup, good luck, and have fun!
