Zorin OS won't work right alongside Windows 8.
Upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro/Core RTM then you can dual-boot

Just to say that there have been some issues with some folks upgrading to 8.1:

There was a popup in Windows Preview of 8.1 not showing up in Firefox and M$ had pulled it until they have sorted the issue.

I have to admit that Windows 8.1 preview is very slick - boots to login in under 5 seconds! A pity they did not have equivalent of 'launchpad' that would be better than the 'down arrow' below 'Start'. I have noticed (but this could be just a preview bug) that if you right click an icon on the Desktop and select 'Pin to Start' it does not work, but if you right-click on the icons below Start it does. I still think the 'Windows blind' at logon is a mistake - to use it as a screen lock like Pear does would have been better.

Hi,

take a look at the partition guide which has different scenarios for removing Linux, the most important thing for you would be to recover the Master Boot Record (MBR) so you can boot Windows again.
