You have effectively set your machine up as dual boot system.
You will be presented with a menu at boot time.
All you need do is remove from your hard disk the folder where the version
of Windows you no longer require is installed - do this from the version
that you do want (and be careful) then you can change the boot menu to just
immediately start your now single version of Windows by changing the setting
for Default Operating System and the timeout at:-

Control Panel ... System ... Advanced (tab) ... Starup and Recover Settings
(button)
