  • I love FOSS, Linux and the Peppermint O/s in particular and try to get as many people as possible to get away from Windows – for most people Peppermint and Libre Office will cover their needs! Charles Heap (Retired Energy Consultant)

    • Your post is pretty old, and probably I’m not the person to answer this question (myself being not very experienced with Linux and computers in general), but in most cases, dual booting Linux and Windows should possible, even though you might have to format your partitions and set up a new partition scheme (depending on the partition table and filesystems you are using). The specific installation method then depends on your system and the bootloader you want to use (sometimes the distro too, but in general, the most distros are flexible enough to support dual boot). I’ve found general instructions for Ubuntu as well as ArchLinux, and I think that the ArchLinux Wiki article about Dual Boot with Windows gives a good overview and how it basically works, although it is specific to ArchLinux.
      Disclaimer: As I have stated, I easily could’ve gotten something wrong, being not an expert in these matters.
