- | In recent articles in this series, we have explored some of the features of Linux using a live-USB, and have taken a more in-depth look by installing Linux on a virtual machine (VM) on a Windows 10 host. Both of these methods allowed us to try Linux without really affecting the operations of our Windows machine. The live-USB didn’t change Windows at all, while the VM was created on a program (VirtualBox) installed on the Windows computer, just like any other application. This time, we are going to actually install Linux on our computer’s hard disk. However, we will use separate partitions for Windows and Linux, and be able to dual-boot between the two operating systems. So, the only real change for the Windows system will be a little less available disk space. | + | **In recent articles in this series, we have explored some of the features of Linux using a live-USB, and have taken a more in-depth look by installing Linux on a virtual machine (VM) on a Windows 10 host.

- | But, first things first. Before making such a radical change to our working system, we should make a full disk image backup. A previous article (Rescuezilla For Backups; Full Circle Magazine; No. 190; pp. 21-22) described a software package appropriate for this task. Store the backup image on an external USB drive so that it is completely separate from the system disk. Then, should anything go wrong with the installation of Linux or, should you decide that dual-booting isn’t for you after all, the disk image can be restored and your entire system very quickly and easily restored to the point in time when the image was made. | + | But, first things first.

+ | Le processus d’installation continue exactement comme quand nous avons installé Linux sur la machine virtuelle que nous avions créée avec VirtualBox. Toutefois, quand nous arrivons au point où il faut sélectionner le disque sur lequel Linux va être installé, nous ne voulons plus utiliser le disque système en entier. À la place, nous devons accepter l’option par défaut qui est d’installer Linux Mint à côté de Windows Boot Manager (Install Linux Mint alongside Windows Boot Manager). Cette sélection demandera à l’installeur de prendre un peu d’espace disque libre de Windows, créer une partition distincte et installer Linux OS et les applis comprises sur cette nouvelle partition. | ||

Now, we have the best of both worlds. We have a fully-functional Linux installation running directly on the system’s hardware. and have also retained the option to boot into our Windows system should we so wish. | Now, we have the best of both worlds.
