Hello everyone,

So I want to make a dual boot drive with Windows 10 and El Capitan. Right now, I have Windows 10 and all of my files on my drive. Is there a way to make a dual boot without losing all my files?

Thanks!

Ethan

There would have to be a way of partitioning your main partition without loosing the data it contains. I'm not sure this is possible. 

Or simply get another hard drive, if you did that then yes, easily.

Ok. I'm thinking of putting Yosemite on my SSD and keep Windows on my HDD.
