You can also run Linux through a USB drive by installing it on your machine, without enhancing your existing system.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you prefer to use Linux distribution besides Windows as a dual boot system. You will get a choice of two operating systems each time you start your machine. Several users find it an ideal way to install Linux so that they can get back to completing the Windows system simply with a reboot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>It\u2019s better to install Linux after Windows<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you aren\u2019t interested in dual-boot, it\u2019s advised to install Linux after Windows is installed on your system. That means on an empty hard drive install Windows at first. Then Linux and if you already have Windows installed you can install Linux.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you install Linux after Windows, the Linux installer knows to deal with Windows, resize its partition, and set up a boot loader with an option that enables you to choose Windows at boot time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Suppose Linux is installed prior to Windows, Windows ignores Linux and doesn\u2019t recognize its partitions and overwrites the Linux boot loader with its own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In this case, you need to repair the boot loader of the Linux system initially and then boot it back into the Linux system again. No doubt you can reinstall Linux but it\u2019s better to install Linux after Windows.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Steps to Setup a Dual Boot System<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A modern Linux distribution makes the process of dual-boot installation easy.

Or you can also opt for manual partitioning and create Linux partitions besides Windows if you have the knowledge of it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Remember don\u2019t select the option that will overwrite your Windows system with Linux.\u00a0For instance, if you are using the Ubuntu distribution installer.

If you want to simply use Linux for small tasks allocating small space is good. But if you are a fan of Steam games or want to use Linux as your main system. You will need to allot more space.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Taking Backup<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Though you are an expert in Linux installation and resizing Windows NTFS partitions. It\u2019s essential to always maintain backups of important files for preventing risks.
