Dual boot Windows 7 and Windows 8
Interested in trying out Windows 8?
There´s many way of installing Windows 8 without destroying your existing Windows installation.
Here is a list of some of the approche and:
- Make a VHD, apply WIM file (located inside the ISO) and boot VHD native. - hyper.nu
- Make a VHD, burn a DVD/USB stick and dual boot. - www.hanselman.com
- Create a new partition and install Windows 8 there. - lifehacker.com
I used the guide from hanselman.com and was up and running in no time.
EDIT 27.04.2012:
- A tool that can be of interest is the Disk2VHD from sysinternals, this tool will convert a physical disk into a VHD.
- Also have look at BCDEdit for altering the boot menu. A good blog about this at SevenForums
