Windows and Linux on the same drive

Franki Abagnale · September 27, 2015

Guys, can you all tell me how to install linux on a hard drive that already has windows on it. So my old pc has a hard drive and i want to use the same drive till i get my new one in a month. After I get my new hard drive can I just pop in the old one back onto the old computer with windows on it?

go in to disk management and create a new partition then you can install linux to that as if it were a separate drive

Create another partition and install Linux on it.

I think Linus did it in one of his build guides.

Which distro will you be using? Because Ubiquity (the installer for Ubuntu and its various flavours), has the option to automatically install the OSes side-by-side.
