Dual operating system on PC build

Thillai

On my new PC build, i have TB SSD drive. Is it fair enough to install dual OS on 1TB or should i need to have one more hard disk to install the second OS. Adding another hard disk will have any performance issue.
Please help on this

Hello @Thillai! Dual boot isn't something that we directly support but I can offer a few suggestions. You can have multiple operating systems on the same drive. You will just need to partition the drives for every OS that you decide to add. If you want to add on more operating systems, I would suggest to have a main drive for standard use and a secondary for the other OS in case of drive failure. This is a helpful link providing more instruction: https://opensource.com/article/18/5/dual-boot-linux The other option would be to use a virtual machine to run more systems without installing another drive or creating partitions: https://www.wikihow.com/Run-Multiple-Operating-Systems-Concurrently-Using-VMware Virtual machines have a lot of open source content. If you were to get stuck, there is a wide community with valuable information to assist you.
