Because the computer will support two operating systems and their applications, it must have higher capacity to meet the increased demand on memory and speed.
For those intending to run the two OS simultaneously, duo-core computers are a must.
Ideally, each OS should be located on its own hard drive.
To successfully install the two OSs on one computer, start with the Windows OS and then the open source system.
“Open source OSs recognise Windows but the reverse is not true. When installing the open source system, it will allows co-existence.”
Apart from the two OSs, some users install two OS from Microsoft to enjoy the benefits of the old and new software.
