Uninstalling Grub and Ubuntu
A few years ago I had my friend reinstall my computer as a dual boot system with Windows 7 on one HD and Ubuntu on a small 40 gig. We don't talk that often anymore, so I can't ask his advice off hand, but I need to uninstall grub so that the system naturally just boots into windows 7 without any option starting up. Am I correct in thinking that all I need to do is remove the Ubuntu drive and run the windows start up repair?
Basically just do this: Removing GRUB from windows system after uninstalling Ubuntu from Windows 7 right?
I realize this question has been asked before, but really wanted a second opinion before trying anything, so thanks for any help.

Most Windows 7 systems are BIOS/MBR, but makes a difference if BIOS or UEFI. Basically you run the same repairs, but UEFI requires some more housecleaning afterwards. If BIOS and correctly installed you should have Windows boot loader on Windows drive and grub on Ubuntu drive, with BIOS booting Ubuntu drive. You can run Windows repairs to update MBR in Windows drive and set BIOS to boot it first.
