Multi-booting a Desktop or Laptop

Multi-booting is the practice of installing and running two or more operating systems (OS) on the same computer at the same time. Multi-booting can be helpful for users who want to use the best features of both OSes, such as running Windows games, editing videos on macOS and using Linux software for hosting and development.

You will need a computer with at least two hard drives or partitions to multi-boot. The system will have one hard drive for macOS and another for Windows and Linux. You must also download the installation files and create a bootable USB drive.

Once you have everything you need, follow these steps to multi-boot your PC:
1. Boot your computer from the Linux installation USB drive.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to prepare the storage.
3. Next, install Windows and when prompted, select the option to install Linux alongside Windows.
4. Let the installation process complete.
5. Once the Linux installation is complete, you can install macOS then which OS to boot into when you start your computer.

Multi-booting can be complicated, but it is a great way to get the best of both worlds. If you are looking for a way to use the best features of both macOS, Windows and Linux, multi-booting is a great option.

Here are some additional tips for dual booting:
1. Make sure you have enough disk space for both operating systems.
2. Back up your data before you start dual booting.
3. Be careful when partitioning your hard drive.
4. Read the documentation for your Operating Systems.
5. You may need to use the release date during installation.
6. Ask for help if you need assistance.
