    Will my computer be able to dual boot Windows XP?


    I have a HPE-541f. I was wondering if I dual boot Windows XP and Windows 7 by creating a partition in my hard drive and installing Windows xp on the partition. I was just wondering will my computer be compatible with Windows XP? Also is it safe to do so?

    You shouldn`t have any issues, other then maybe some drivers. Is it safe ? Sure it is.

    Be advised, you won`t be able to boot into Windows 7 when installing XP last.

    The tutorial will show you how to fix it.

    If you have driver problems, use VMware Player and install it in a virtual partition. That works just as well. Then you can run XP and 7 side by side at the same time. Have a look how that works with e.g. 7 and 8.1 (XP would be the same).
