windows 7 ultimate


I already made a second Partition and am able to install a second copy but I’m curious, Is it possible to dual boot windows 7, and XP Home edition? Or it just Windows 7 and XP Professional?

    Yes.
    You must install Windows 7 after XP. (Always install the newest OS first.)
    It should find another Windows installation and set the BOOT.INI to give you dual boot. If it doesn’t, editing the BOOT.INI is fairly easy.

    each edition requires a seperate hardrive to be safe call microsoft tech direct and if possible they will guide you to do it right over the phone and tell you the plusses and negs if you should even do it.I personally feel dual boots slow down everything and its better to keep one version on 1 system and the other on another
