That's okay. They both do a good job.

From the top of my head, have you done this?
Note: You can download the windows ISO and recovery from Windows 7 Forums I believe.

Insert a Zorin OS Live disc and boot into it.
- Start then System then Administration then GParted and delete the ext4 and linux-swap partitions.
- Resize the secondary OS partition

Once done boot up the windows recovery or even windows 7 disk, recovery mode, repair computer, command prompt and use the fixmbr command (BootRec.exe /fixmbr).

I believe you can also use Paragon's Rescue Kit or Paragon backup and restore free boot disk to achieve the same type of workaround for fixmbr.

MiniTool Partition Wizard (the iso you can download for free) also has fixmbr/rebuild option

A work around is completely use MiniTool Partition Wizard do do the steps above. That is what I did when I had 2 dual boot linux and one decided to play up (Elementary OS Beta)

A user that adds Linux needs to know the work arounds.

The MiniTool Partition should do the trick just fine (short cut), but the official way to remove Zorin would be the steps I described (might have missed one step as the last time I used Zorin was over 4 months ago).

Stranger and I both provided work arounds to remove Zoring OS.

If you do not even wish to attempt the ways to remove Zorin and keep asking for help when it has already been provided, I do not think Linux is the way to go for even single boot for you. If anything try it on a VM until you are fully comfortable with Linux.

Fedora is no easy walk in the park compared to Zorin, Ubuntu and its variations and Mint.

I have also provided you the info in where to download windows 7 iso (since all you need to do once Zorin partitions are removed is to fix mbr).
