Completely agreed with having a second drive for dual boot, too many horror stories to tell!

I like most of your stuff, but this one is bad. You can't just do a rough video on dual booting and installing a second OS. If you get it wrong you'll have an unusable PC.

I actually wish they made dual boot harder to do in the installer. That way the user almost has to prove that they have the knowledge. I did dual boot on my first install I loved it, up until Microsoft pushed an update and completely borkd my machine. Due to that, I educated myself on bootloaders and I'm back to loving Linux.

i once tried this but forgot to partition

I need it to play minecraft xD because amd is bad optimized opengl on windows and i want to have both

Good presentation. Kept Short and Simple. I'm also with you when it comes to two drives. However, I myself bought a 1 TB HDD and split it in two parts for dual booting years ago. Now I'm full time in Linux (at least at my home). Congrats Chris. Cheers.

Dude... dual booting is a nightmare. Nobody addresses this in these videos. How about dual booting Windows 7 and Linux on an older computer. Which a lot of people will actually want to do. Let's hear you on that subject.

I always manually partition things on a single drive and it's been working fine so far for duel booting. Thank God we had uefi.

I've been doing it for years, but I still get nervous, will the computer brick. Can we trust Mircosoft's controlled UEFI, will the Ubuntu shim work.

Separate Hard Drive for separate OS. Hell yeah

Thank you so much! This has helped, I've been looking for such a simple and straight to the point video for weeks! Subscribed!

Well, I bought a new SSD and today installed Ubuntu Gnome as dual boot. It went very straightforwardly and runs well. I think I will be more in Linux than Windows now.

Great tutorial for newcomers/beginners. We need more videos like this on YT.

It's a very good and straight forward video 👍 I would be interested in what's the best way to backup a Ubuntu & Windows Dualboot, where the two operating systems are installed on the same hard drive. Currently I only backup the data, but I think it would be better to backup the whole drive "like an image". But I didn't quite figure out how to do it, or if it's a good idea.

OK so after I'm interested in testing out a different distro, how do I remove the distro on my dual boot with Windows 10, get the bios configured, etc? I have triple booted WIndows 10, Ubuntu and MX linux and tried to remove the Ubuntu 19.10 (Baaad. had issues with it ), and screwed up the BIOS so badly that had to use the WIndows recover USB and install it and then Ubuntu 18.04 :-(((

Another interesting item for a future video: how to customize Grub and maybe also how to make it look good, you are seeing it frequently after all, I prefer the first thing which I see to look good, something which Manjaro has though of.

Hsving a 2nd hard drive may not be an option on some laptops..can i load linux os on a usb thumb drive for dual boot ?..does this dual booting pertain to any windows version?

Can one install Ubuntu on an external hard drive to dual boot from and use it on more than on computer in the same way? Say on 2 different Windows PCs, or on one PC and also for a Mac?

Hi Chris, I can't find a video addressing the topic of partitioning your HD for a dual-boot or multi-boot system, with all Linux distros. I was hoping this video would go into enough detail to make it clear, but alas, it hasn't. I'm having trouble understanding the relationship between Primary and Extended drives and how to allocate the space. I even looked for tutorials with a keyword search. It's overwhelming to think that there is nothing out there to help me.

I have a D drive with over 500gb of space. However I already have pop os installed but it's giving me problems.
