I have been dual booting for a long time now with Windows 7. I have finally gotten to the point where I feel comfortable enough to just have Ubuntu on my system. My question is should I do a fresh install of 10.10, or should just format my windows partition?

If I format the windows partition, can I merge the two or do I have to keep the 2nd partition?

Personally, if the Ubuntu system you are using is stable, and you are happy with the way it is set up, then copy everything of importance to the Ubuntu part, remove the windows part and expand the Ubuntu part to the whole disk.
