    How to Dual-Boot Win11 w/ Win 7 ?

    Through All, I Got that you need to install the older version of windows first then dual boot any later one,

    while "no drivers found" was taking in on my patience

    But seriously, is there ANY way to create a Win7 Dual-Boot on a Win11 Workstation ?

    ANYY WAY just tell me please !!!!
