Re: Reason to dual boot.

You need a windows install cd (i.e., it won't work with a factory restore cd). When you put the CD in and boot the PC, it will ask you what to do, and one of the options will be to install a new copy of windows. Then when you power up the PC, there will be a text screen asking you which windows directory to boot to.

So you physically install a second copy of Windows and then just boot to whichever version you want?

Do you know how much space a bare-bones install version of Windows (7 or 8) takes (that is a question, not a snide comment)? I was just wondering if it would be too much for an ssd. I don't have one of those yet but perhaps someday ...
