I'd like to remove it but I don't have the internet abilities to get all my shit back nor any way to backup, so I'm just ignoring it until I get a new laptop and hopefully remember to put it on Linux when I get it. Presuming Linux works on niche high end laptops anyway.
Ironically you may be better off using linux on your current hardware than the new hardware, since driver support tends to improve with time (the Linux community is known to support hardware long abandoned by the original manufacturers). Bleeding edge (release new) hardware has has less time for the community to work on it, so your experience may be more unstable.
Then maybe Linux isn't ever going to be useful to me, by the time 7000 series GPUs exist my 4090 laptop will probably be done and passed off to someone else.
Dependent on your hard drive's capacity (and free space), you could make a separate partition and install Linux to that, while leaving your existing partition and files untouched. Then you'll be able to access them from the newly installed Linux partition, can move over what ever you need, then remove the Windows partition once you're done.
Drives are full and raided together, which is a pain and I should E undone that while I had a chance.
