Using Windows without OSX

Hi,

Is it possible to remove OSX Mavericks and keep Windows 8? I barely used OSX Mavericks when I got Windows 8.

Do I have to use a program like Minitool Partition Wizard or do I have to do it myself?

Thanks!

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

In your Applications/Utilities folder in OS X is a utility called Boot Camp Assistant.

BootCamp will partition your hard drive allowing you to install Windows. You can then boot your computer directly into Windows rather then OS X if you wish.

It turned out I didn't need to have OSX Mavericks after all but in Minitool Partition Wizard a error appears and says "Minitool Partition Wizard Home Edition cannot extend the specified partition. Not enough free space."
