Linux and Windows on the same hard drive?

Question

linux

Hello.
Ubuntu is installed on the hard disk (500 Gb). You need to have Ubuntu and Windows 7 (160 gigs) on this hard drive.
Ubuntu, as I understand it, will have to be demolished.
Please tell me how to do it correctly.
Thanks in advance.

Well, not everything is so sad. Ubuntu has a graphical partitioning utility. I would first use it to try to repartition the disk into two. In this case, you can save data for example with Clonezilla.
And if the experience is unsuccessful, then install the disk already partitioned into Windows first, and install Ubuntu.

Answer 5

The first question is whether there is something archival in the installed system? If not, then it's easier to demolish everything, repartition the disk (do not forget to allocate a separate partition for /home), install Windows first, and then ubuntu.
Or if Windows is needed occasionally, then generally install a virtual machine and shove Windows into it.
If you really don’t want to demolish Ubuntu, then you can try to repartition the disk with an existing system, like even a regular gparted can do it. But you still have to do it by booting from lifeseed. Then we put Windows. Then we insert the disk with ubuntu, boot and edit or reinstall the bootloader (depending on where it is and how the bootloader did it).
