Windows 10: Doing a triple boot with Win_10 Win_7 Linux-Ubuntu

Hey, I'm Swaroop, and am a web developer and a graphic designer. So for my profession, I needed Win_10 and Win_7 for some programs. And just for fun and some experience, I wanna use Ubuntu. Now, as far as I know, Ubuntu isn't much hardware intensive. Right now I'm already running a dual boot setup, shall I do a triple boot now.


System config

• CPU: Intel Core i3 M330 @2.4ghz
• RAM: 6GB

• Storage: 1TB SSD

• OS: Windows 10 and Windows 7 Both Pro editions


So, again, I want some advice from the experts, thanks for helping...

:)

 

Triple Boot Windows 10, 7 and Ubuntu

I want to do the same thing but reading other questions and answers it seems yo have to upgrade your current Windows 7 and can't therefore dual boot it. The route I am pondering now is to use the backups I have already for both Win 7 and Ubuntu Linux, upgrade
windows 7 to 10 then install windows 7 on a separate drive and put Win 7 backup files back on ( may need to disconnect the win 10 drive?) and then put Ubuntu Linux on last as I believe it will sort out the booting options from there. I can then put Ubuntu
Linux backup back on

As I have said this is only what I am thinking about at the moment. Also I don't mind if I have to re install or re configure things.

 

What to do in Ubuntu ?

I'm new to this Linux and its variants.

For the first time I'm stepping out of coziness of Windows . What do you guys use Linux for ?

Also I'm in college, will be doing Computer Science Engineering (Programming) . Anything to learn you guys can suggest ?

Already know a bit of C++, Photoshop.

 

Triple Booting

I don't know where you get your information, but I have just downloaded Ubuntu Mate x86 15.04 iso, and here's the file list, the Autorun.inf file and the wubi installer ready to get to work.:



Clearly WUBI is alive and well in Ubuntu (even though the Ubuntu developers are using WUBI labelled 14.10 from the previous release of Ubuntu!). Ubuntu purists and fanbois hate anything Windows, and shout loud in their own forums, it does not mean they are right.

LinuxMint has Mint4Win, which was included up to ver 15 (Olivia), I believe, but is now not available for the newest versions 17 (Quiana) and 17.1 (Rebecca). Once you have your Ver 15 installed, it is possible to upgrade in place, but Linux is not like Windows, so a version upgrade will not show tremendous differences. Mint has clearly been worried by the setup of newer PCs. GPT and UEFI do not figure in the original poster's setup of Windows 7 and Vista.

I would not suggest anyone with an OEM install of Windows 8 should try to install Linux in this way.

I would also suggest again that a third party S.M.A.R.T. analysis of the installed disks is performed in order to find out if and in which areas the disk(s) may be failing. It is hard to be sure, but otherwise the slow disk problems may just be due to hidden file system problems such as overly large journal files or simple fragmentation issues that grow with "mature" installations. Sometimes these problems can be solved by imaging the system drives, deleting the system and boot partitions and then reapplying the image and rebuilding the BCD.

The Get Windows problems are unlikely to be because the drive is bad, but because your windows update queue has become blocked by some failed update. There are specific fixes for this and would be best followed up in Sevenforums Updates section.
