Never had this issue, because my first step is always to purge pre-installed Windows.

I did not have any issue with installing Linux, double booting with a preinstalled Windows 11.

Care to summarize?

You do not even post the tittle.

USENET has multiboot experts.

You can install Windows then Linux, or Linux then Windows.
Both methods can be made to work. In the latter case,
you can use the Yannbuntu Boot Repair DVD, or you can
use the more traditional "chroot in and fix it", like
how the Gentoo Handbook describes it.

You can install Linux on a Legacy BIOS PC, by adding
a BIOS partition using Gparted and the Gparted flag item
for it (that changes the GPT GUID for you).

You can't become a multiboot expert by reading a book.
You learn it, a little bit at a time, by doing it.

Then, maybe, you'd have material for a video.

Let nothing stand in your way. Practice, practice, practice.
It's just like the piano lessons.

Wow, I have never disagreed with some ones opinion more than this guy. Personally I thinks way off base. The first time I install Linux I let it do all the
work and install beside Windows. I did shrink Windows first by after than it was all the
installer. Not the best idea but BCDedit in Windows flipped the boot around.

No matter how I did it, I was up and running in no time. And had a ball doing it and
learning. As Paul said, practice practice practice.

I install both all the time. I like to customize the drive
layout and the file system in Linux. You just follow the
prompts. Neither require a degree in rocket science.
Both require about the same degree of skill.

I think Anonymous make this positing to get attention,
not to do anything constructive.

USENET has multiboot experts.

Usenet has experts on just about *everything*. You simply have to
pick newsgroups close to what you need, read them for a while then
make absolutely idiotic suggestions.

The experts will help you learn The Truth exceedingly rapidly.

You can install Windows then Linux, or Linux then Windows.

You can install Win on Lin, on Win, on Lin, on Lin, on Lin, on Win,
on Win, on Lin if you have a large enough drive and patience.

Why one would wish to do this is either because you're testing stuff
or you're nuts or it's fun. Maybe all three.

There are even several million non-Linux Unix-type operating systems
and other OSes such as React and OS/2 that can be played with if you
are dedicated and have no life.

And then there is this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_operating_systems

many of those can be installed under, inside or on the same platters
as many others in many combinations if you use sufficient ingenuity,
skill, wisdom and brute force.

How well they work may be variable. :)

Both methods can be made to work. In the latter case,
you can use the Yannbuntu Boot Repair DVD, or you can
use the more traditional "chroot in and fix it", like
how the Gentoo Handbook describes it.

Nah.

I learned by doing it, fucking it up and asking you guys for help.
Then doing it better.

Step II is important. It's where you learn what the limits are. Step
III is where you learn *why* they are and how to go beyond them but in different directions.

Step IV is what you show the bosses. :)

Then, maybe, you'd have material for a video.

Trust me, no one wants to see me in a video.

Let nothing stand in your way. Practice, practice, practice.
It's just like the piano lessons.

Only more fun.

Paul

Thank you for all of your help over the years. :)
