Can You Boot Two Operating Systems at the Same Time?
Contents

While most PCs have a single operating system (OS) built-in, it’s also possible to run two operating systems on one computer at the same time. The process is known as dual-booting, and it allows users to switch between operating systems depending on the tasks and programs they’re working with.

How do I boot multiple operating systems?

Select the Advanced tab and click the Settings button under Startup & Recovery. You can choose the default operating system that boots automatically and select how long you have until it boots. If you want more operating systems installed, just install the additional operating systems on their own separate partitions.

Yes, we can. For dual booting whether the windows is legal or pirated, that’s doesn’t matter, as you’re installing the secondary OS in another partition. If your system is a single partition (which is most of the cases in the legal Windows 10), then you have to create a partition, which may cause some data loss.
