[Solved] Dual boot Windows 7

March 19th, 2022

I have windows 7. Want to add windows xp as secondary boot. How to do it, and is there any risk doing this?
Answer #1
well, you make a partition from your C:\ drive with any partition program. for example you have 160GBs free on C:\ you take 10GBs away to make another drive letter such as D:\ E:\ G:\ etc. yes, there’s great risk, actually. a lot of the time your boot loader gets messed up big time during partitioning, and you have to create a new boot menu with a program called EasyBCD which is extremely simple, but annoying to do.
Answer #2
Na…
Not risky….
Just install it on a secondary partition(format it or resize it)…..
Thats it……
Bootup may be a problem..

if you have win 7 and install XP then you’ll need to do some configuration so you can get win7 and XP becasue XP won’t see Win7 after install
