Dual boot

What does dual boot mean?

A dual boot system makes it possible to install two different operating systems on the same computer and choose between them at startup. This is particularly useful for users who need different software environments, such as Windows for business applications and Linux for development purposes.

Advantages and risks

The biggest advantage of dual-boot systems is the flexibility of being able to use multiple operating systems without additional hardware. At the same time, this configuration harbors risks such as data loss or system conflicts if partitioning is carried out incorrectly. To avoid this, users should create a backup before installation and ensure that both systems are configured correctly.
