How To Install 2 Windows OS Running Independently on Your PC

Requirements

More than 200gb of disk space
Geneiu Windows OS software ( vista, windows7 or windows8)
2. Power on ur pc

Procedure

PERTITIONING.

Step 2.
 If u are on a windows u like eg vista or windows7 and u want to keep the original software on ur pc, do a FACTORY RESET of ur pc.
Step 3.
After the above, Click on the windows icon on the bottom left corner of ur screen And type CREATE OR FORMAT DISK PARTITION.
Step 4 
select the above from the list, a window will pop up showing ur hdd partitions and sizes
Step 5.
Select the one with the largest size. Right click  and select SHRINK. Shrink to a desirable size that can you can install ur OS on. At least 80gb
Step 6.
Way the end of the step above, you would have a new UNALLOCATED PARTITION. Now right clock it and create new partition on it. When don you will notice the partition on ur computer showing the new partition. Note the size of the new volume you just created as it will be useful when installing the second OS.

INSTALLATION

Step 7.
Insert the cd/DVD/flash drive containing the OS u want to install. Note the the later version must be newer that the first installed OS as in the following
Vista before windows 7 or windows 8
Windows7 before window8.
Step 8
 Power off ur pc with the software plugged in ur pc and restart ur pc
Step 9
Configure ur boot order from system setup making sure the part to ur OS software is given the priority over others.
Follow the installation instruction till u get to where u have the partition u wish to install ur new OS. Choose the one u just created and format it again. If u are confused about the actual one pls quit it and remove the OS software. Restart ur pc and check the right partition.
Step 10.
When u are sure of the right partition click the next icon and follow the instruction to the letter. Whe ur system restarts please select the OS at the top on the boot sequence to finish ur installation.
Step 11
Whenever u restart ur pc, ur system will take u to d boot sequence then u can select the OS to use.
That is all you need to do to have 2 windows on ur pc.

FOR AN ORIGINAL WINDOWS8 WITH ACCESS TO MICROSOFT SERVER CONTACT ME THROUGH PM STRICTLY BUSINESS.

Other issues pls table here.

For you to be able to run 2 OS at the same time on ur pc, you will need to setup a VIRTUAL MACHINE on ur pc. Another topic for another day.
