Trixbox 2,982 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 There's no way you can install a OS to another OS. Linux and windows are both OS/Operating System. If you want to experience linux in windows, download this: https://www.virtualbox.org then download Linux distro here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgl 5,919 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Just try Ubuntu with a bootable USB stick. If you like it, then you can choose to install it and every time you boot you'll be given to option to choose which system to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ora Gon 251 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 if you want a dual boot and has a large size of hard drive, you need to have a different partition for linux and install it in that partition or if you want linux inside windows you have to install a virtual machine and then install linux in the virtual machine.

Blem 1,480 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 i want to install it alongside windows and ubento 15.04 Yes that's dual boot. Standard practice is to have two separate hard drives. The one already has windows on it. The other will be empty. I don't like having two OS on one drive because you cant modify partitions with OS it. There is a wiki that you can use on the Ubuntu site, you can either burn to Ubuntu to DVD or create a boot usb key. After you burn the image you insert it into your PC and boot from said device. You then install it on your empty drive. Choose the recommended install not custom where you install Ubuntu on the entire drive. Its really simple Boo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimG 333 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 There's no way you can install a OS to another OS. Linux and windows are both OS/Operating System. If you want to experience linux in windows, download this: https://www.virtualbox.org then download Linux distro here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop You are sort of correct with what you are saying, however, with win7 and earlier versions of windows you can actually install linux on top of your windows install. There is a software on the ubuntu site that lets you do this. How it works is that you install linux on your already partitioned hard-drive and you can dual boot into that linux install. It basically installs linux in a folder of your choice. The problem here, is that win8 (and I assume win10) uses a different boot-loader than win7 did, hence why it does not work. For anyone interested in this, the install software is called WUBI if I remember it correctly Play around with it on your own risk :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
