Solved Will my computer be able to dual boot Windows XP?

[BDhillon97]

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.

Please read it before you start, and ask any questions before you start

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).
