Install windows 10

Anonim

It is possible to install Windows 10 along with another operating system , the question is asked by many Windows users who are trapped by the visual appeal of the latest version of the operating system released by Microsoft for testing. Then we will remove that doubt so that they finally decide to install Windows 10 or not.

The problem that arises when installing Windows 10 along with another operating system is that the new version of Windows starts with the UEFI Secure Boot, a new technology present in modern UEFI motherboards and that is used to run Safe and virus-free software on your computer.

Microsoft uses this new technology mainly to verify that a pirated copy of Windows is not running, which can result in the theft of data from the computer, but also brings other problems such as the impossibility of running two operating systems in same computer.

With Windows 8 this problem did not exist, since Microsoft forced all hardware manufacturers to deactivate the Secure Boot, in this way Windows 8 could be installed along with a completely different operating system, such as Linux.

Now Microsoft is "passing the buck" to manufacturers by allowing them to decide whether or not to enable Secure Boot on their motherboards. This means that if you decide to buy a computer with Windows 10 pre-installed, you may not be able to install a different operating system on your hard drive.
