Changing an operating system no longer requires the help of trained technicians. Operating systems are closely tied to the hardware on which they are installed. Changing the operating system is typically automated through a bootable disc, but at times can require changes to the hard drive.
Is it possible to change your operating system?
Nope! You can install whichever OS you want as long as it’s compatible with your hardware. However, newer operating systems are generally preferable since most programs are designed with them in mind and might have compatibility issues with older operating systems.
Can changing the OS frequently damage the computer?
It will tend to wear out your hard drive or SSD faster because you are writing large amounts of data frequently. Other than that, it shouldn’t “harm” your computer. From hardware prospective, reinstalling either OS or programs will put more wear on the the hard-drive.
