I currently have a dual boot between Windows and Linux but I'm thinking about removing Windows. Would I need to do anything to Grub in order to continue use Linux Mint? (lemmy.ml)

As a sort of follow up to the post I made on my alt account, would I need to do to anything to Grub to continue using Linux Mint after removing Windows or would I still be able to boot into Linux Mint without having to do anything? As stated in the previous post, Windows is installed onto an SSD and I want run games from that SSD but I'd need to reformat the SSD in order to use it.

Edit: I don't need help with this anymore but because it seems like there is some confusion, I'm including the fact that I have Linux installed onto an external hard drive and Windows was installed onto the SSD which is in the laptop. I've already remove Windows from the SSD and reformatted it to ext4 so I can run games from it.

I didn't need to do this. I never used Windows on this computer, so I didn't have data to backup. I've already removed Windows from the SSD and reformatted it. I'm also keeping Linux Mint installed on the external hard drive because it runs fine from the external hard drive and I just want to run games from the SSD.
