So windows has been launched for a quite a time now and you are still wondering whether to upgrade or not and not wanting to give up your older and favorite version,so here's what you can do,double boot windows 7 with windows 8 and can have both running on the same time and enjoy both.

Here's how you can do !!!

This is always a good practice when you are tweaking an operating system. The risk of losing data is usually pretty low, but you don’t want files to disappear the one and only time you didn’t back up.




Step 2: Create a new partition on your hard drive

Step 3: Obtain your copy of Windows 8
