Uninstall Ubuntu from dual boot (separate drives) with Windows 10, fix Windows boot

I currently have a desktop computer with both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 on it. Windows 10 is on drive C: and Ubuntu is installed on a 100 GB partition on drive D:


I'm not happy with Ubuntu 16.04 on my desktop and have instead fully installed it on my laptop. So I am now looking at uninstalling it off the desktop computer.


However I am having issues doing this as I can't delete the Ubuntu GRUB boot and replace it with my the proper Windows one. I have tried repairing the Windows boot (through the bootrec /fixboot command and bootrec /fixMbr) but it doesn't seem to work and I feel it may be because Ubuntu is on a different drive so therefore so is GRUB.


Can anyone help or suggest how this can be fixed?
