thanks for the links
Answer #5
it depends….dual booting on the same hard drive might require you to format your current partition cause a lot of lappys aren’t compatible with partitioning while there is data in it.
Answer #6
At the risk of pointing out the obvious…make sure you have backed up any important data before you start partitioning. If your copy of windows 7 is legit, take a note of the serial number and make sure you have a backup dvd if you need to re-install because accidents happen sometimes
