I have two partitions on my laptop, I created a new one when installing windows 8 pro because windows 7 wouldn't upgrade to it for some odd reason. The main partition, which has 631 GB ( has windows 7 installed on it, and the second partition is 49.9 GB and has windows 8 installed on it.

What I need to do is remove windows 7 from the other one (Yeah its dual booting), make it so it boots straight into windows 8, without showing the dual boot screen, and also merge the two drives together.

Only problem is, I have no idea how to do this.

Please don't use complete lamens terms, I am a software developer so I know at least a bit about computers.

Here's disk management so you can see how its set out.
