Windows 10: Help regarding Dual Boot - Windows 8.1 installation after Windows 10

I have Windows 10 in my laptop presently. I want to install Windows 8/8.1 and have both of them as dual boot.
Is it possible to install the older Windows 8/8.1 when I already have W10 and have both of them as a dual boot, without losing files?


I have searched before posting here, but unable to find a proper tutorial for this scenario.
Your help is appreciated. Let me know if any info is needed.

windows 10 slow boot

I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.

You mean dual boot? Do you have 7 and want to add 8 or visa versa? Either way it works. Nothing special about it just a few easy steps. Partition -> Windows installation -> reboot.

You can go to win + r -> msconfig -> ok -> and there choose boot tab and look what OS is there and also you can check in win + r -> diskmgmt.msc -> ok -> and look in partitions
