Should fairly easy, basically just delete the Windows partition(s) and update or reinstall grub. You might also have to change the boot order in the bios/UEFI to boot directly to Linux. This might help https://lifehacker.com/how-to-uninst...ting-508710422

Thank you. One more question: Windows and Deepin are in the same disk part (local disc C). This is not give problems if i delete Windows partition?
Hi,
I don't know if it's too late, but I really want to recommend a backup before you delete something.
I have had very good experiences with Clonezilla. If you need help with that, let me know.
By the way, are you sure that Windows and Linux are on the same partition? That's not possible in my opinion, you mean on the same hard drive, right?
Normally Deepin sets up another partition next to Windows and installs itself there.
To be honest, I don't find it as super-duper-easy as the previous speaker: =)
Assuming Windows is in the initial area of your hard disk and you have installed Deepin after that (assuming I do), you have deleted Windows after deleting it, but have a free space at the beginning of the hard disk. And you may not be able to increase Deepin by the amount of free memory. Maybe, of course, depends on your partitioning.
So you won't win more than one entry less in the bootloader.
Maybe you'd like to play around with Deepin first in order to find out about the right constellation at the end, then I would create the hard disk completely new.
