If you have Windows and Linux both installed on your system and you want to uninstall Linux, go ahead!

Linux' bootloader called GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) replaces Windows' default bootloader.
You have to delete the partition in which Linux is installed and fix the MBR of WIndows using a system repair disk (recovery disk).
Create a system repair disk:
Boot up Windows and go to Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance and click on 'Backup and Restore'.
Select 'create a system repair disk' in the left pane and follow the steps.
Delete Linux Partition:
Now right-click the computer icon and select 'Manage'. A window will be opened. Now click on 'Disk Management' from the left pane.
The screen should look something like the image below.
Find the partition in which Linux is installed. Right-click it and select 'Delete volume'. Be careful as you may lose data if you delete the wrong partition.Linux will be deleted from system after the above step.
An unallocated space will be created. Right-click again and select 'Extend volume'. This will fill the free which was left after deleting the Linux partition.
Fixing the default bootloader:
Boot your system using the system repair disk and select 'Repair your system'. Now click on 'Troubleshoot' and open Command Prompt.
Enter this command:
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
