So -- rabid poster that I've been here and there -- the history of my Win10 dual-boot upgrades is already shown in some other threads.
Looking down the road when I may want to purge the Win 7 OS from one or more systems, I can see that I can simply tweak a tab in msconfig and then remove the Win 7 logical volume, then use Acronis to expand the remaining Win 10 volume to fill the disk -- provided the volumes are on the same physical disk.
Both OS's seem to use the same 100MB "system-reserved" volume.
Two of my systems, for not having enough space on the original boot-system SSDs, have Win 10 installed as a logical volume on a second SSD.
Eventually, when I need to delete the Win 7 OS from those systems, how do I consolidate the Win 10 volumes on the same disk with the "System Reserved" 100MB volume? Or what sort of repair operation would I expect?
Any tips about this? I'm keeping notes about these things so I have something handy if eliminating the Win 7's takes me another year or two.
