    Running 2 OS'es Simultaneously?


    Could you Boot 2 Operating Systems at the same time on different monitors? This would practically mean 2 computers running off the same tower but is it possible?
    LinusTechTips posted a video about this () but I don't want to run it as a server, just 2 machines not 3

    :)

    Is Win10 only available as upgrade?

    Hello all,

    I have 2 computers (1 desktop running Win7 Pro 64 bit and 1 laptop running Win8.1 64 bit). I am interested in trying out Win10, but I don't want to give up the OS'es I currently have installed. Is the only path for the free Win10 to upgrade and wipe out
    what I'm currently running?

    how much does it cost to get a licence to install windows 10 on 5 computers?

    Richard

    we need more info.

    Do the computers have previous OS'es?

    What version of win 10 (home, Pro, enterprise)?

    Running 2 OS'es Simultaneously?

    The solution shown in the video is nothing else than a very sophisticated (and very expensive!) way to use virtual machines. However, it tells you the one very important, deciding factor: what you want to is not possible, can't be done, in any other way than using a virtual machine.

    With a virtual machine it becomes possible. Here a screenshot from my PC just now; the right (main display) showing my host system, the left (smaller) display is running another Windows 10 installation in full screen mode:
