Hey guys,
so just some days ago I upgraded my iMac to run macOS from an SSD and the days of running an OS that completely seems to have forgotten about HDDs being still kind of a thing are numbered.
I don't quite enjoy the full speed rush across the whole system, because I'm still blessed with USB 2.0 which feels like floppy drive speed more than ever! Oh and the Thunderbolt ports that practically speaking only sit there laughing at me and my optimism about them 5 years ago LOL.
Question is, my old HDD still is partitioned as macOS 600GB/Windows 7 400GB.
I want to dedicate it entirely to Windows 7, can I just use Windows' disk portioning tool or should I run macOS (from SSD of course) first and tinker around in diskutil?
Also, I assume it's safe to remove anything that isn't the Windows partition right? read: the recovery partition or does it do more than provide a recovery partition that now sits on my SSD anyways?
Thanks for your help in advance everyone!
