Hi,
I am looking to get some hands on experience with Windows 10 and looking for the best way to go about it with out disrupting my main desktop I have The Bolt ver 1 which is my main PC and gaming PC... I would rather not replace my OS (Windows 7) with a beta OS. So in your opinion... what would the best option ?? Is VMware Workstation the only way to go ??? it is pricey at $199.00 or is there better options. Thanks for your time VMware Workstation

I'd think a 2nd HDD ($40-$60) and use it to boot win10 would work. If you don't get the dual boot option, you can set the win10 drive to primary boot drive and restart. I really haven't used dual boot OS since xp/Linux and a lot has changed. Maybe someone else can clarify if this would work. Edited by Pacesetter - 27 Feb 2015 at 4:06pm |

You can download Oracle Virtualbox for free for personal use.

Here is a link that shows how to run Win 10 on Virtualbox. Virtualbox
Reading through the process at this site it seems that it is easier to use VMwareplayer instead of Virtuallbox. Frank |
