Answer 3

What's the point?) In the era of virtualization. Isn't it easier to file virtual machines?

Answer 4

Yes, you can. Most likely the Windows already cost. You need to reduce the partition size through the disk administration utility in Windows. Then install Linux on free space.

Answer 5

Put it under VirtualBox, I do not advise you to put it next to it. Better buy a separate inexpensive laptop.

Answer 6

Virtual Box - acceptable when the machine is powerful, I set it up in parallel, everything is quite simple, but after that I scored on Windows and now I'm sitting only on Linux.

Answer 7

It’s better not to =) but if it’s on business, then the lenovo u310 \ 320hdd + 32 ssd cache
also depends on the configuration .
It’s quite stressful to install it as a second system, because grub periodically flew off. What was the reason, there was no time to figure it out. The main thing is to make the boot partition separately on the device.
and if you try, pervert with wubi)

Answer 8

You can, you just need to remember that you always need to install Windows first (women and children first), and then just install Linux, because. Linux is solidary, but Windows is not. If you do the opposite, then Windows will kill the Linux bootloader GRUB and Linux will not start. But linux will take into account the second axis and at the start of the system, the above-mentioned GRUB will ask what exactly needs to be started.

Answer 9

You will have to tinker with partitioning the hard drive ... put on Virtual Box and rejoice
