How can I dual boot version Windows 8 and windows 7 Professional

How to create a partition dual boot?

I now have windows 7 pro now. I want to have a dual boot for win 7 & win 8.

I lose all my apps of win 7, & will be working on win 8 automatically or do havve to re - install in win 8?

Please see:

Othe tutorials are available on the Internet. Do a Bing, Google or similar search
dual boot Windows 7 Windows 8.

The installation of Windows 8 on a drive separate partition/logic will not affect any aspect of your Windows 7 Professional system. You will need to install all the applications for use with Windows 8 on this system with the system of Windows 8 running. Some people, it is useful to create yet another disk partition separated/logic for their documents, pictures, videos and files of the user. Thay can be shared between the two systems, open and modified either by, according to the needs.

Good luck.

  • How can I activate telnet in Windows XP Professional?

    I've seen several references to XP Professional with a built-in telnet server and the 'help and support' section seems to indicate that as well, but I darn if I can find detailed instructions on how the hell activate you it after 20 minutes of Googling to pages with forums and ask the same question, people usually being will have a link to the technet database. I tried to look for it, but kept getting instructions for Server 2003 who say to test with telnet in XP command line control.

    I want just a less cumbersome way to stop my main computer of the notebook on the cable network (in my room, the computer and I have a fake ethernet cable so I can access it from the bed I have wireless at home). I want to try telnet as it is less involved than remote desktop, and I can't do 'shutdown m \\slickswintel' at work (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-networking/how-do-i-use-the-shutdown-command-to-shut-down/645a45ee-d964-4f87-8c7e-98f446332c0e).

    I thought I'd try to telnet. If I can limit the 192.168.1.X subnet traffic security concerns shouldn't be a problem. Yes, I am well aware of the limitations and why Telnet has been replaced by SSH. It would be a problem if I was trying to participate via the internet, rather than an inTRAnet of small LAN home network with a router/switch device that manages the internet gateway.

    Could someone, give me a link to instructions for XP Professional? I don't even remember if I ever tried to set up telnet on Windows what it (server or workstation, even if it's a piece of cake to put in place under Linux (and SSH is simple too).

    My goal is to turn off the computer from across the room without getting up from the bed, so I can stick this laptop on the bedside table and to sleep with as little hassle as possible.

They were on the same switch as well. The firewall on the router/switch stateless only works on inbound connections from external (internet) interface, and I'm sure that it is rather a feature of the NAT because it does seem that the vs TCP UDP and port number...

  • How can I dual boot two different drives on SATA XP

    I hope this is the right Forum, if not please you could direct me in the right direction.

    I have two SATA drives, each with versions of work in XP SP3.

    C: drive is my installation used, normal most of the time with a lot of programs installed and uninstalled, usually a normal installation that is several years old WORKS most of the time. It contains also some legacy programs that work most of the time, but seem to have a few problems with other unknown parameters, that I have not been able to solve.

    Drive d :) is a new installation of XP with only these programs I have problems with installed and they work fine.

    Currently, if I want to run the XP installation cleaning, I have to unplug the drive c and override it physically with drive D:

    What I want to do is to have the choice at the start of what XP installation to run.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Tom,

    Sorry for the delay in replying, was a lot.

    I tried your second suggestion on the use of the default Windows boot loader and it works a treat! I can now boot from my second drive without disassembling on the side of my computer.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

  • Make a small change to an old project - how can I know which versions of drivers and RIO etc. has been used for the last good generation?

    If I want to make a small change to a legacy project for years before, I would limit my risk using the same exact versions of LabVIEW, etc. NOR-RIO.  So I check the project from the repo, but I do not know how to check what versions have been used when the last know good generation was carried out.  I don't want to introduce questions by recompiling mass to the latest version.

    What is advised in this case?  I could, before every posting of repo, take a screenshot of the tree of MAX software and save it in the project file.

    Any ideas?

    Rather than create a screenshot of MAX: MAX can create a report for you. You can take all the information expected of her.

    Hi, I want to play a lot of old titles of games on my pc and I am currently dual-boot with windows xp professional service pack 3 copy OEM and windows 7. I have a spec pc enough modern, but when I log in the windows xp operating system I have no internet which worls fine on the side of windows 7 so I can't update windows xp and cannot install an anti virus directly from the internet, etc. Also, I can not play the old songs that I bought and installed windows xp to. There are various error messages that appear when I try to run a game on the side of windows xp, some speak of ram and some are on the charts?

The main games I'm running are Max payne, Worms 2, Worms Armageddon, Dungeon keeper 2, Sudden strike 2, Rise & Fall, Rise of nations, Starcraft, Dune 2000 and Emperor battle for dune and a few others. Anyones help on this and how to do a bit of retro game on the pc would be not very appreciated, thanks.

  • How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 upgrade copy corresponds to?

    A few years back, one of my friends gave me his old computer running Windows 7.  I just had to replace the motherboard and processor on it, and when I went to reinstall Windows, I learned that the CD Win7 key he had corresponded to a Windows 7 upgrade version.  From what I could tell, I need to install an older version of Windows first, and then use the upgrade CD to return to Win7.  I installed Windows XP Home Edition and I tried, but the CD Win7 said that I had the wrong version of Windows to upgrade.  I installed Windows Vista and got the same thing.  How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 update of that CD will modernize?

    Thank you!

    Looks like the copy of Windows 7, you were trying to install from Windows XP Home Edition is a 64-bit version.

    You will need to boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:
    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Can I do a dual boot with Windows 7?

    After taking all the precautions I can think to install Windows 7 on my wifes laptop. Drive recovery system, backups (2 DVDs) and an image I did more than 6 DVD.

    I thought why not only reduce the Vista Partition, install Windows 7 in the created partition and run Windows 7 to see if it will work on the laptop (gives me time to straighten out things so that my wife can always use). Then remove the Vista Partition. If the laptop was mine would just reformat the dang thing and deal with what it goes down from there.

    Then there is the Question of what to do about the EISA (recovery Partition)?

    Hello!

    Of course, you can install Windows 7 and do a system to dual-boot with Windows Vista... Why not? ;)

    As you have already said if Windows 7 works well on your laptop (I put t know which model you have exactly) you can remove Vista and use the old partition to store data or to include a new in the Windows 7 partition.

    The hidden partition do you mean isn't the Toshiba recovery partition! It is a feature of Windows.
    You can remove this partition you don t he most needs.

    In addition, with the Toshiba Recovery disk, you are on the safe side. If you don't want Windows 7 you can go to Vista (factory settings). :)

    Good bye
