Windows 10: Windows 10 Dual boot?

I have heard that because of windows 10, you cannot dual boot.

1- Can you dual boot with Ubunto or Linux Mint?

2- If yes, must they be set in a partition alongside the Windows partition.

Thanx

:)

You could setup Windows 10 in VirtualBox and use it there or dual boot:

I can answer the first part. I have 5 separate OS's "Quint" booting, or whatever the term would be. *Smile So, yes, you most definitely can dual-boot. I don't do any Linux, but lots of others do. They'll be along shortly with the low-down for you. *Wink

Thanx, but mine is Bios.

 

You mean Legacy, I think. Not sure at all, but that may have some limitations on how far you can go with it. Number of Primary partitions and such. Should wait for someone who does dual-boot Linux/10 to pop on. Sorry, just out of my league.

 

Re your point 2:
I don't understand your question. Yes you will need 3 partitions, most likely within an extended Windows partition since you got MBR disk. You can also install on a separate internal drive, but I have no experience with that. Hopefully some of the links below will point you to sites with good advice.

Re your point 1:
Linux works perfectly well with Windows 10. For a long time I had Windows 7, and 10, and Linux Mint and Grub2 bootloader behaved very well.
On MBR drive, NOT UEFI with which I'm unfamiliar.

I used Live CD, actually USB flash, to do all partitioning work in gparted, and then installed.

Hi

I have Linux Mint and Windows 10 (UEFI), but each one installed on a separate drive, and i dual boot fine between the two.

Regards

 

Thank you but I have legacy-Bios. It worked under Win 7 but Microsoft has placed some restrictions in Win10.

 

Hi
Have you tried and it didn't work for you?
Whats the problem that you are having?

 

I prefer to have Linux installed on it's own separate hard drive. But otherwise my old machine dual boots between Windows 10 and Kubuntu.

 

I haven't tried it yat, but way back when Win 10 was new. It states that it was going to block Dual booting. I plan to image the syem OS (There are 2 other partitions backed up and go for it.

 

Legacy BIOS uses MBR. New UEFI uses GUID partitioning.
I don't know where you read so much fiction. What restrictions you speak of?
Did you read, for example, my post #5. I said quite clearly there that you can dual boot with Linux. Just my example for you. Note that Windows does not see what's in the 3 partitions inside the extended (green). NTFS are windows partitions (M is my data drive).
