How to install windows next to linux?

Question

linux

Hello masters. Please tell me how to install Windows along with Linux. If Linux is already installed and configured.
I found solutions in Google, but methods are described there with deleting a partition on a hard drive. And how can everything be done without losing the information existing on these sections?

Answer 1

It is not necessary to delete. It is enough to move the existing partitions from under the LiveCD using gparted. On the freed space, create a partition for Windows.

Answer 2

1) Through GParted we prepare a place for Windows
2) Install Windows in a prepared place
3) Restore the Linux bootloader (instructions - the sea).

Answer 3

1 uninstall windows.
2. install Linux.
3. Buy a cheap junk computer and put it next to you.
You can't switch to Linux using Windows
. You need to abandon Windows completely.
This is the only way to switch to Linux.
And Windows at best in a virtual machine.

Answer 4

It's bad if you don't have free disk space for the new Windows.
In any case, make a backup of your data. It is better not to touch Linux partitions (do not transfer or compress).
After installing Windows
, I repaired the Linux bootloader using the disk
