Do Linux & Windows, both systems, can live together on the same PC without (any or no) conflict?

Yes, by using multiboot, or a Live installation of Linux in Windows (WUBI).

Yes.

Easiest way is install windows first. Then, If you use Ubuntu or Mint (some others) the Linux installer will offer a default install method that will split the hard drive space in about half for each OS and give you the option to choose which OS you want at startup. Here you choose “install side by side”. The rest is automatic.

I have 2 computers set up this way, and have done fine for 3 years.

certain. least puzzling way is installation homestead windows first. Then, in case you employ Ubuntu or Mint (some others) the Linux installer will grant a default installation technique which will chop up the not undemanding force area in about 1/2 for each OS and grant you with the alternative to elect which OS you want at startup. the following you elect “installation area by area”. something is computerized. I truly have 2 pcs set up this way, and characteristic done wonderful for 3 years.

yes but not at the same time unless you use a virtual machine for one of them.

We have dual boot PCs here… they boot to either Linux or Windows. I have Virtual Box running multiple Linux guests under Windows and VMware running XP as a guest of Linux.

(Guest… a running operating system that belies it’s in it’s own PC but is actually running using a share of the memory and processor of an already running PC)

Yes, both Linux and Windows can be installed on the PC and you can access whichever OS you want at boot time. I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed on my own computer.

windows and linux have different partition format so they cannot normally be in the same partition but you surely have separate partitions in your harddisk so you can dedicate one or more to linux.

one thing to consider is that windows doesnt read linux partitions so you cannot access your linux files in windows unless you have program to do that for you like ext2read.

and also windows boot loader doesnt normally boot linux so you either have to use linux boot loader or a program named easybcd.

these are not concerned much problems and conflicts but they are good to know.

I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint Debian Edition Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint Debian Edition then you need to create a Bootable LiveDVD

Linux Mint Debian Edition can also be run straight from the LiveDVD from Boot without touching your Hard Drive
