I hope I can have windows 7 and Pclinuxos64, kde5,2019.05 as dual boot on new 2012 hardware white box computer build. but not sure how to do it yet.
thanks for your reply, yes my motherboad has that secure boot stuffThis is the way I do it on my desktop computers.
Windows on its own hard drive.
Linux on its own hard drive.
Install Windows on its own hard drive and then disconnect the Windows hard drive.
Install Linux on its own hard drive.
Reconnect all hard drives and restart computer.
You should get a screen which gives the option to choose which OS you want to boot in to.
You can also enter bios and set which hard drive you want as 1st boot.
This works for me on my 2010 desktops computers.
I'm uncertain if it will work on brand new desktop computers with all of the UEFI / EFI secure boot which my computers do not have.
Thanks for your reply, I might try it your way.
