How To Dual Boot Linux Mint And Windows 10 [Beginner’s Guide]
Dual-booting Linux with Windows: What you need to know Windows 10 isn’t the only (kind of) free operating system you can install on your computer. Linux can run from just a USB drive without modifying your existing system, but you’ll want to install it on your PC if you plan on using it regularly. Installing a Linux distribution alongside Windows as a "dual boot" system will give you choice of either operating system each time you start your PC. It's the ideal way for most people to install Linux, as you can always get back to a full Windows system with a reboot. So you have decided to switch to Linux. Good decision! But there comes many distros to choose from ,sort of like flavors of Linux. For a beginner, i would recommend using Ubuntu or Linux mint first to get a feel of how Linux works overall. Some newer Linux based distros are also freely available like the Zorin OS or if you want you can go for some premium ones too like the Elementary OS.
