Fresh install

[vit]

I made a post asking if I could remove Windows from one of my drives without affecting the boot process, and I don't feel comfortable doing it. The thread is below:

Dual boot Zorin/microslop

I've fully adapted to Zorin and I want to remove Windows 10 from my PC. It's in a dual boot configuration. Can I simply format the SSD where it's installed? What would the boot process be like?

But what I really want is to erase all the disks and do a clean install with only Linux. I made a bootable USB drive with the Zorin installation and I'd like to know if I can format all the disks using this USB drive and then proceed with the Zorin installation. Is it possible to format all the disks and then proceed with the Zorin installation? Any recomendation?

Yes, You can do that. In Live Mode, You should be able to find GParted. Open it, choose in the upper right Corner one Driver after the other and remove the Partitions and format them to ext4 when You only want using them for Linux.

When done, start the Installation Process with click in the ''Install'' Icon on the Desktop.

The term "live mode" that you mention would be the same thing as booting the pen drive with zorin loading it into RAM, right?

Yes, live mode means booting Zorin from a USB-Zorin-boot-stick and select "Try Zorin" mode there (the stick you have prepared to install Zorin).
