Enabling dual OS on your computer is a great way to get the best of both worlds with two different operating systems. The process may vary slightly depending on what operating system you are currently running and what other operating system you would like to install, but here are some general steps for setting up dual booting:
1. Back up all important data from your current machine onto an external hard drive or cloud storage service. This will ensure that none of it gets lost during the installation process.
2. Create an empty partition on your hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD). You can use a third-party tool such as MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition for this step. Make sure there’s enough space in the new partition to fit both OSes without exceeding capacity limits of either one.
3. Install the second OS into its own partition using its respective setup disc or USB stick/drive created by downloading ISO images online with tools such as Rufus Bootable USB Creator Tool or Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (for Windows installations). Follow instructions on screen carefully and make sure to select correct partitions when prompted during setup process so they don't overwrite each other's files!
4. After successful completion, reboot your computer and enter BIOS settings menu by pressing appropriate key combination at startup (e.g., F2 for Asus motherboards; Del for Gigabyte ones). Locate “boot order” section where you can specify which OS should be loaded first when PC starts up - save changes before exiting BIOS setup program!
5. Reboot again, choose desired OS from menu presented after POST finishes loading and enjoy having access to two different environments within same hardware platform ;)
