    Two operating systems on one computer.

    Hello everyone

    I don't belong to Windows 7 forum so I am asking this question here. A friend of mine has a new computer with Windows 7 operating system. He also has a copy of XP Professional. Is it possible for him to load XP professional on his machine whilst running Windows 7? In other words can he have two operating systems running? If yes, how can it be done

    Regards
    Calmat

    What you want is a dual boot and very common. Personally, I would not want it for my computer. It is used to run programs that XP runs better than Seven.
