Windows 7 Dual Boot.

rossy87 · 28 Apr 2009

Hi guys.

I am currently using Vista Home Premium 32-bit and would like to try Windows 7 possibly on a Dual Boot option.

I have never dual booted before so would someone be able to help me out or maybe show me to a tutorial that can help me out.

Many thanks.

Ok thanks. that tutorial seems to help alot.

Also two more questions.

1. By how much do i have to partition my hard drive by?

2. Where would the best place be to get Windows 7?

Many thanks.

Rossy,

Q1) Windows 7 needs at least 16 GB minimum, but it depends on how much you plan on installing.

Q2) If you can wait until May 5th, then you should be able to find instructions on how to download the Windows 7 RC directly from Microsoft. If not, then Google can be your friend.
