I have Windows 8.1 and Kali Linux on a partition with 10 GB of space. On my Windows partition I have 11.9 out of 222 GB. I want to install Windows 10 but I need 20 GB. I used EasyBCD before but I forgot how to use it. How can I restore the Windows Bootloader and delete Kali Linux (and get 20 GB back)?
 
You can restore the MBR from Kali. See if you can install lilo from your package manager, then run:

Code:
$ sudo lilo -M /dev/sdX mbr

/dev/sdX being the inode for the drive where you have your current bootloader installed. That'll get rid of your current bootloader and replace it with the standard Windows MBR. Now, from Windows, you can use a partition manager like EASEUS or the bundled(unadvised) partition manager. You can also use a live USB/CD of gparted, if you want.

Use that to delete the Kali partition and resize your current Windows one.
