Learn How To Install More Than 1 OS On A Single Partition

How To Install More Than 1 OS On A
Single Partition Using VirtualBox
You may be a Windows user, a Linux
user or you may be using some other
operating system. It may happen that
you want to try out any other OS or
you may be a developer using some
other OS.
In this case you have 2 primary options
to install the second OS on your
computer:
1. To install the second OS on a
different partition and use a multi-
partition system.
2. To install the second OS on the
same partition.
The first option of creating a separate
partition may create some issues in the
long run. Either that the two OS may
not be a well compatible one or your
hard drive may get corrupted more
easily due to viruses or other
vulnerabilities.
And that is why you might be
interested to know more about the
second alternative i.e. to install the
another OS on the same partition and
more specifically - on the same OS.
This is possible with - VirtualBox.
VirtualBox is a freeware software that
can emulate a virtual hard drive using
some space on your real hard drive on
some OS. The virtual hard drive on the
VirtualBox system can then be used as
a new computer itself and can be used
to install and use any other OS that
you can install on any normal hard
drive.
