I had a dual boot system for a while and I am trying to delete WIN 7 from a physical drive and then use that drive to install Trainz 2022.
I have tried different instructions but WIN 10 stubernly refuses to clean or re-format the drive. It claims that I do not have permission, even though I am the administrator and have clicked on the option to perform as one.
I understand explitive trying to help people to not do the wrong thing and delete their working OS.
If I could fire up and old machine with WIN 95 or XP would they be less discrimanitory?
The drive is a small SSD 160 GB, but half of it is blocked by WIN 7.
After looking at what I have in my Trainz 2019 physical drive after moving user data to that from my WIN 10 drive I decided to buy a new 500 GB SSD for Trainz 2022 but I'd like to salvage the 160 GB drive for future use.
I think maybe putting it in an old machine and using a WIN instalation disk like XP, I may be able to force a format in preparation for installation of XP and then maybe abort the process????
Thanks
