You can use programs like Partition Magic
Maay gaad, I thought this is a tutorial thread
sure u have 3 hard disk with different Operating System (maybe)
Wondering
How it could be done.

By partitioning your hard drive and then installing each operating system in each partition then use the Grub bootloader software to allow you to choose which of the 3 systems you want to boot when you power on.

Hi,
You can also use Virtualbox or other virtualization software to create multiple virtual machine and RUN them on a single machine.
If your computer has good amount of RAM, then you utilize this Virtualbox software. It really works fine. Instead of creating different partition, i think it will be much better option.
Thanks,
Hope it helsp

You can use 1 hard drive or 2 hard drives or 3 hard drives, it works the same regardless of how many you use. It's easily done with just 1 hard drive. If you look at my previous post a few posts back in this thread, you will see a link with instructions to partition your hard drive to create a partition for each of the OS's that you want to install, then you install each operating system in each separate partition that you choose to install them in.

How to make a PC Triple Boot Android, Windows 7 and Windows 10
Windows booting is a simple process. You can easily boot your windows 7 OR Windows 10
you can useing some free tools for booting window 10 and windows 7.
I can explained here how to boot a drive easily. I think it will benefit you. For than messege me personally.
Thank you very much.

for android, you can use "bluestacks" on windows
So you want to use Windows 10, Windows 7 and Android on PC. For that first create 3 or 4 partitions one for windows 10, one for windows 7 and one for android. Install Windows 10 and Windows 7 on separate partitions and you will see that you have a option to boot into windows 7 or 10. now to install Android use a android based OS such as Prime OS and install it on a separate partition. You can use the pre installed grub or you can use grub2win to get all operating systems that you need

Hey there I'm also interested in this I currently have garuda Linux and can't get Windows 10 on
I've done this for a while, my easiest solution is:
1. Make 3 or 4 partitions. Windows 10, windows 7, data partition, and a Linux partition. (There may more created e.g. a system partition). Dont touch the data partition throughout all of this except for storing your OS ISO, liveboot ISO, other program files etc.
2. Install windows 7 on windows 7 partition.
3. Install windows 10 on windows 10 partition. Can be installed from windows 7. Let windows handle making a windows bootloader which can now boot into windows 7 or 10.
4. Create a live USB in ine of your windows. I've been using Ubuntu but used Fedora for years prior. If you aren't sure if you need x64 then go woth the 32 bit x86 architecture (useful to be able to boot on 32 and 64 bit machines). Now boot up your live USB into Linux and install automatically onto Linux partition. You'll now have a GRUB bootloader which can boot into Linux or into your windows bootloader.
5. Install android emulator. I used Linux as I felt I would get better performance emulating android in Linux, this may or may not be true.
There will things that you might find as a nuisance, for example when I boot into windows 7 from windows 10, I need to boot into the GRUB to windows bootloader, select windows 7 and it reboots again back into GRUB and then into windows 7. Not a big deal unless you want to switch OS a lot. If this is the case, you may want to just emulate to begin with. I have a laptop with *ok* processor and RAM, not the best for emulating another OS.
There is many options - you could even install Linux within windows if you so choose. Ultimately the best path will be based on your knowledge, specs of your PC ( power, ram, disk space, disk type [fora mount of partitions], BIOS/UEFI, etc. The method I laid out is the most automated and easiest method I have come up with. Don't try installing windows on top of Linux, you'll cause a headache fixing everything for your Linux system. But then again, everything I've done in Linux the hard way has helped me to understand Linux better. I've just found that even laying out all of the partitions manually for Linux can be challenging, especially if you only have 1 computer and your data is not backed up elsewhere. Start with a blank machine if you can, and have another computer on hand, then you'll have an easy time starting over if necessary. Theres still so many more options of how to do what you are asking... good luck and happy tripple booting

Yes, exactly what I was indirectly suggesting. I've done it the way you describe before, but, alternatively, you can just create 2 partitions on your hard drive then install Win10 and Win7 in those partitions then create a Linux live USB or even install a full Linux distro on a fairly large USB flashdrive/external hard drive(preferably something that has solid state storage, this enables faster booting and performance and allows installing drivers and packages) and then go into BIOS and set your boot priority to boot from USB first, save changes and exit. Then, when you want to boot Linux you just connect your external drive/USB then reboot the device and it will automatically boot Linux without having to use grub and when the Linux drive isn't connected you will be able to boot 10 and 7 via windows bootloader. A little more round about but makes booting back and forth between operating systems.

I had a project to run Windoes 10 on an SD card, which proved to be more difficult than I tbought it would be. I didn't think it should have been difficult, but it seems software amd hard tales measures to prevent this from being possible / "easy". Linux is quite easy to use a live USB, so I've done that quite a bit (I'd keep a 32 bit live USB on my Keychain). I don't think I was ever able to update drivers or install updates to the live USB, however I didn't make much of an effort too. I basically used it as a save my ass tool, which it certainly did come in useful quite often in the course of my personal/school/work computer needs.

Instead of installing Linux live on USB, you can do a full installation of Linux on the USB the same as you would when installing Linux on hard drive. A Live USB can be setup with a persist partition to provide a bit of storage on the USB but it isn't enough to do anything with that is useful, that is why it is better to just install the distro on USB instead of using USB to run Linux live.

Hey guys, I've been using Windows Vista 32 bit 86x to do some of my theming work and APK(s) editing and I do not like how Windows is handling all of this. I've got way too much junk spread all over (tools, folders, editing programs, etc) to keep up with all this. I've been reading on Ubuntu and it is the programmer's choice in using to develop apps, themes, and editing APK(s).
I took the tour on Ubuntu and liked a lot of what I saw and thought it was perfect for app development and other stuff. No need to download so many stuff and end up losing track of most of your tools and such.
So, what I did was I did a factory image restore on my Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista 32 bit 86x and got rid of everything and saved important stuff on my external hard drive. Now I'm debating the use of Ubuntu as the sole system operation or installing along-side of Windows.
What would be necessary for me to do? I hate how Windows handles some of my work and don't see how it will benefit me in continuing my android app development and getting started.
I've also ordered a couple books on Android App Development and Java coding on Android platform. I'm in the process of trying to figure out what would be wise for me to do with Ubuntu here.
Any help is much appreciated. I will be using the books to help me step by step in developing app(s). But I'll take any tips that anyone is willing to give insight on!
just for app development i dont think a linux distro is needed.
if you are going into compiling kernels / compiling android sources you might need at least a VM with linux running afaik(but a full installation of a linux distro would be better i guess).
Personally, I wouldn't ever be without a windows machine. Ubuntu can do almost everything you'll ever need but you just never know when you might need to use a windows program that is not available for linux. So if your laptop is your only computer, I would dual boot for sure. If you have another windows machine, then I guess it doesn't really matter. But umm.. what exactly is your question anyway?
I'm just trying to get a better clarification for using Ubuntu and if it would be more wise to install it along-side Windows Vista (dual boot) or install it as the sole operating system instead of Windows Vista.
I do like Windows Vista for other things but it's been annoying trying to get it to work properly because some tools work better on Linux (Ubuntu).
Also, I had Java SDK, JDK, and latest version of Java on Windows Vista but from other threads or posts I've heard that the Java SDK Manager, along with Eclipse, work a lot better on Ubuntu. But of course there are other mixed reviews from others saying it works better on Windows Vista or Windows 7 (whichever they are using).
I always do research before I go doing something that has the potential of creating regrets (due to errors or not knowing much about this or that) or gets too confusing and become lost in reverting back to the way it was before I did something.
I do have a Windows XP Home Edition desktop (the latest one before Vista came out). Problem is it got the blue screen of death (doing memory dump) and I never really got it to recover from that. I wonder if the desktop Ubuntu disc can write over all that and make it work again, but only as a Ubuntu operating system?
I've always dual booted. Mostly because the games I play on my laptop are windows games. Keep this in mind, when you partition the drives. Linux can read NTFS/FAT, but windows has issues with ext. So don't worry about making a HUGE partition as ext for ubuntu. (I usually make a folder in windows on my c drive to send files back and forth). If you're using Ubuntu, you might want to look into using WUBI, makes installation a breeze.
it is no big deal at all.
it is better to have ubuntu run on the hardware not in VM.
you can have a dual boot
and install Eclipse and the plug-ins which will provide you will tools for android development.

You can dual boot win8 and win7 its a breeze, i just did follow this simple steps posted on microsoft-news.com
just make three partition on your laptop...one for each.. or you can install Ubuntu through wubi on windows 7 and windows 8 on a separate partition.. am currently using like this...
Easiest way is to install ubuntu inside windows 7 and use VMware to instal Windows 8 on virtual machine.
I did that today. Could go without windows eight tho.
thnx everyone i run win8 in VMware..

Its actually pretty simple.Just dual boot windows 7 and 8.Im sure u knw how o do this.Then install Ubuntu alongside 7 through the boot setup!
If you had a newer CPU, I'd suggest using Client Hyper-V (from Win8) to run the other OSes virtually, but the Core 2 family lacks second-level address translation, which means Hyper-V messes up desktop performance so MS made SLAT mandatory on client (non-server) builds if you want Hyper-V.

I had my windows 7 installed , and then i installed ubuntu. Now , lets say you installed windows 7 on a LocalDrive (c):, then in this drive there will be some files.
wubildr
wubildr.cfg
wubuildr.mbr
These are the files that gets your ubuntu booted.
So just install windows 8 normmally on some other drive. (note: dont keep any operating system in same drive. Make a 100gb for windows 7 , 50gb for ubuntu(if you not compiling any big projects) and 100 gb for Windows 8 , and the rest 70 gb a 4th hard drive )
You can store songs and stuff in any drive you want.
NOTE:
When you boot up your computer,this is what happens,
1) Bios awakes all the hardware("Goodmorning mouse,keyboard harddisk, any other devices connected too (except your internet router) )
2)Bios finds a operating system and boots up its "SELECT OPERATING SYSTEM"(called bootmanager).(in my pc when i use windows 8 and shut it down, the next time i start pc i get windows 8's boot menu. but if i use windows 7 and shut it down , and next time when i turn on my pc i get windows 7's bootmenu, You wont get ubuntu boot menu on startup)
3)Go to Windows 8 , open my computer . Now you will see that the drive on which you installed Windows 8 is now C drive..
4) Find out on which drive you had your windows 7, open it, go to program files. and use which ever software you had without reinstalling it, Like lets say if i want photoshop, then i will go to windows 7 drive, open program files, then Adobe, then photoshop cs5 and here there will be photoshop.exe, i will create shortcut on desktop (use this method only when the software publisher have not published the software for windows 8, eg TeamViewer , they released their software for windows 8 , so i wont link it to desktop from my windows 7 files.. I will download a new one.. )
Thats it.. have fun buddy..
Check this out.
Google EasyBCD. And then download that software. so if you ever mess up , then you can make a new entry in your bootmanager and name it what you want. lets say you mess up with ubuntu, and in boot menu ubuntu option doesnt come, then you go to windows 7/8 and then open up EasyBCD , make a new entry , name it Ubuntu(or what ever you want) and then point it out to "wubildr.mbr" (remeber , make backup of the three files i told above..) Also you can change the names of existing OS. Like Windows 7 can be changed into Hello, This is Windows 7 . Then this will appear in your boot screen..
Hope i helped. I know you booted windows 8 in VM, but VMs are slow... I just gave you extra info so u know what to do if you mess up on install new OS again

It is easy install Ubuntu alongside win7 and install windows 8 to a different partision
you can install them separately, each on a partition
it is very normal and easy
i did it, i installed windows 7 then 8 then ubuntu
just make sure to install ubuntu after all because of the grub boot loader
Win 8, then Hyper-V as many different OSs as you have space for, its quick, painless, you don't need to worry about Linux over zealous bootloaders screwing everything up, unless you are running several at the same time even a moderate spec'd PC with the correct hardware requirements will run them both without much of an issue.
one thing I miss from 7 is the ability to run XP programs right of my desktop, I have some USB hardware that only supports 32bit XP, on 64 bit 7 I VM'd with XP mode, had the program icon that used said hardware right on my 7 desktop, double clicked, and for all intensive purposes it ran and worked the hardware as if it was on that very os
pretty impressed I have to say, alas it doesn't work like that on 8 which is a shame
All the files on my windows 7 will be deleted?
When you install 8 over 7, then the files will be on the pc.
But for always, make a backup!
That's true.
The "normal" files stay in place, the windows-files get moved to an old windows folder.

Your wrong, you can designated where you want your OS install to go.
Just make 2 partitions and dont install it in windows but when your pc starts. I dual boot Win7 and Win8. Just Make a C: and a D: If you install when the pc starts, it will give you a choice (at least it did for me.)
The only way I could get Windows 8 Dev running correctly was to upgrade from 7 rather than doing a clean install. This way the hodgepodge of drivers I use work, whereas if I tried using those drivers from their original installers that worked in 7, in 8 most of them failed.
Can be installed to another partition

Correct me if I'm wrong! I don't think that's possible, because Windows 8 is still in Developer stage. Guess what, you'll have to find a new Windows 7 installation disk (even a Repair disk will do).
It is possible to downgrade back to 7 , you really don't need to downgrade really though, if you created 2 partitions then just just need to delete the windows 8 partition and merge the unallocated raw partition that you deleted that held windows 8 and merge that partition back to the windows 7 partition, granted if you installed windows 8 with two partitions

Sometimes you might have to run Startup repair since Win8 changes the MBR.
You might have to fix MBR (Keep your windows disc ready )

There is a selection menu in win 8 during boot.
After selecting win 8 it boots directly to 8, if you select win 7 it reboots and boots into win 7.
So after selecting 7 from selection menu if it reboots do not panic.
Install Windows 8 in another partition and you can choo OS to boot.

I don't think you can revert back to Windows 7. You can try contacting Microsoft but I doubt they'll help you in any way...
And to answer your first question (if you have not already found out the answer) all of the files are moved to a folder called "Windows.Old". They're still there.
If you just update, these won't be deleted, but if you format, obviously, them will be.

Just go to Create And Format Hard Disk Partitions and shrink your windows 7 partition and make a new partition for windows 8 with the unallocated space or add a new hard drive. After that make a bootable usb/dvd of windows 8 using Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool and install windows 8 on any other partition you made. There is an option in the setup to select which partition you want to install it on if you boot from the cd/usb. After that you can use easy bcd to create a boot menu but windows developer preview will automatically create one for you but I prefer easy bcd since it's faster.
I can't install Windows 10 Technical Preview on my Samsung RV509 laptop (Core i5 and 6Gigs of RAM). I tried doing a clean install, and once I boot from the flash stick It gets stuck on the Windows logo and the loading dots doesn't appear, so I tried to do an upgrade from Windows 7 and once it restarts it gets stuck on the windows logo and doesn't load after that (I tried both 32 and 64bit versions) then i get the error 0xC1900101-0x20017. So I tried to install it inside a virtual machine and i tried another machine,and it did install just fine. I tried everything I can from trying to launch the setup from the command prompt but still once it restarts it gets stuck on the windows logo. I'm not sure what do I need to do to get it to install and boot. I've tried with every single build since the insider program started till 9926.
I would really appreciate any help in this matter. Thank you.
I think you didn't really tried a clean install, since you wrote that you've tried to upgrade later. Clean install means you erase all traces of previous system installation. Also, it's good to delete all partitions. Maybe you're hard disk is MBR formatted and Windows 10 requires GPT (just a suggestion, I'm not sure about that).
Secondly, are you trying an UEFI install? I've had Win10 for a couple of months now but I remember having problems with starting UEFI installation from USB stick. To do this, you have to change partition layout on usb stick to GPT, then make new primary partition, format it to FAT32 and copy all files from install iso to usb stick. Then you can start your install in UEFI mode and I think this will help you. Just remember to delete all partitions and let Windows create new partition layout for you, this way it will create EFI partition.
If the installer says it can't create partitions in UEFI mode, you will have to change partition layout to GPT by yourselft. You can put your hdd in a PC and use a Windows based tool (search google) or maybe some Linux LiveCD will let you do that without removing your hdd.
All I did was just use demon tools and install over my w7. It installed as Uefi. Don't like it and w10 gave me an option on restart to roll back my system. I did and went back to w7.
You shouldn't use Daemon Tools to install Windows from an ISO. If Windows needs to reference a file inside the Install.wim folder on the disc for any reason, that copy will fail as the disc it's using is not a physical disc, but a virtual one that the new installation has no knowledge of. The best way to install Windows from an ISO is to copy the ISO to a flash drive or to the local hard disk and run setup that way, or use Rufus to create a bootable USB media for installing. That could be related to your error codes.
Thank you sanshinron for your reply. I always do a clean install for windows, the only reason that i tried to upgrade is that the setup didn't even load when booting from a USB stick (stuck on the windows logo). The USB stick was created using Microsoft's "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool". The same stick loads fine on other PCs. I will try to do what you suggested with the USB stick and give it another try.

I installed UEFI without a problem, is there a reason your set on GPT?
I tried everything with the USB drive and it just installs fine on other pcs. I guess this could be because of hardware not supported yet by Microsoft in the current windows 10 builds. I found many people having the same issue. I just hoped there could be a fix to get the installer to start
I encountered same boot-hang problem when clean installing Win 8.1, and Win 10 shouldn't be different. My solutions:
Post-install boot-hang: The hang at logo boot happens when I don't format the install-to partitition with Win 8.1 installer (I normally partition/format using another tool, to skip the redundant WinRE partition that Win creates). Formatting with the installer allows the boot to complete (you can still keep the original partitioning).
Pre-install boot-hang: Some PCs are idiosyncratic with USB boot; likewise, some USB sticks are "different" from others. I found that using DiskPart to partition & format the USB stick (like a HDD) works when Rufus & straight formatting wouldn't. This, admittedly from a small sample set of one particular problematic combo. Simpler is just try to use different USB sticks.

This error indicates an update issue.
Try this:
- Ingersoll mini tool partition wizard
- check your disk type
If it's GPT,
- download minitool portable ISO and burn on USB with UUI.
- boot to the application and convert GPT to MBR
- Format the C: partition or wherever the previous windows was installed
- then overwrite it with win10
If it's UEFI change it from the bios. Turn off secure boot and everything.
Try and let me know.

After using the minitool partition wizard i found out that it was already MBR.

Does that pc have Win8.1 installed with UEFI?
If so, connect installer drive, go to shutdown menu, hold shift, press restart
Then select Use device => UEFI USB

Tried it, but still the same issue.
Then turn off safe boot and try format the whole disk and start Windows installation from scratch?
Only if you want Windows 10 badly and are ready to sacrifice your data.
Caution: This 'might' work. No guarantees.

Tried it, but it didn't work. I think this could be an issue with a hardware that is not supported yet by the preview. I guess i'll have to wait for that to change in next builds.

Of course, once i find a solution i will post it here, so far no luck.
1. Download Android Nougat 7.0 ISO file[Developed by Android x86].
2. Download Rufus win App to Create Bootable/Live USB.
3. Insert USB with Minimum 4GB and select Downloaded ISO file and finally start.
4. After Finishing, Create New/ Separate Partition in PC for Android to be Installed with Minimum of 16GB Disk Size and Format it as FAT32.
5. After formatting, Reboot PC.
6. Boot PC from USB.
7. Select Install android x86 to HDD.
8. Now In bluescreen Select the Separate Fat32 formatted Partition to Install.
9. Do not Format.( I didn't formatted and it works fine).
10. Install Boot Loader GRUB.( It will replaces default Windows Bootloader).
12. Next it shows up that your are having Windows Partition and asked to create boot item for windows. Select Yes for that else you won't be able to boot into Windows next time.
13. Next Select Skip for EFI GRUB2.(I Skipped and worked for me, I think because I'm having Legacy PC).
14. Then Select Yes to Create Read/Write enabled system directory.
15. Now To create data.img, select yes and then Enter the Size you need for System Memory in MBs (1GB-1024MB).
16. Now Accept Reboot and then Boot Android from GRUB Menu.
17. Thats all . You have Successfully installed Android 7.0 nougat in your PC HDD.

Why not Work ?
If I install it on my PC, do I access google play store like normal?
successfully installed on Z3735F Bay Trail-T windows 10 tablet. I don't need windows 10 OS anymore, so made one partition and install Android 7. It books OK, WIFI works fine. BUT!!!!! All the physical buttons don't work. Power button doesn't work, so there is no way to turn off the system. Volume Up and Down button also doesn''t work. But touch screen works fine. How to solve this problem? any idea? My tablet is Unbranded Tablet 10.1 from Best Buy
hey,
i got it up & running on my uefi windows 10 lenovo yoga (after some struggle i also have dual-boot). my question - how do i get gapps and supersu? it's not like you could simply flash some zips, as there is no recovery
No Playstore!! Browser does not download files!!!
So after wasting 400mb of data and roughly 30 minutes of my time, I discover that there is no preinstalled PlayStore, the preinstalled browser will not download APKs and trying to install apps from the online MarketPlace only discovers devises that the email used to Sign In with is associated to, not the device this is installed on.
These things SHOULD by all ethical means be stated in the description to prevent others from wasting both their time as well as their data.
I want to see a solution to these problems Shanmukarajan. Should you decide to neglect this issue, I won't hesitate to have this post reported to the moderators.
Thank you in advance for your prompt support on the matter.

there is just one issue.
you can not create a data.img file that is larger than 4GB on a fat32 partition...
how do we fix that?
It’s installs fine but when restarts windows is just starting every time and it’s not coming up with step 12 asking me about windows partition and creating boot item
I performed the installation process about 10 times with different settings but none of them seem to install Android on my HDD. The live version works and there are no errors whatsoever, but even after installation there is never an option to boot the installed Android. Only live, debug or again option to install the OS. Does anyone know the solution?

Have you tried selecting yes to GRUB 2 during installation? It's been a little while since I went through the process, but I believe that was what I had to do to get it up and running.

Yeah I have the same issue with my Sony VAIO Duo 11. To start from power off I have to hit the special Duo Assist button, then F11 to boot from usb, then go thru the (re) install every time, so boot takes a couple of minutes, but it always bring me back to the same great working Android with all apps and setting unchanged. I don't understand, but I just happened onto it. Be sure to not format or install any grub (not really sure about grub or grub2), but yes to make it writeable. Then you get an awesomely fast Android.
I don't even want Windows on that machine, but I'm afraid to kill all the partitions and start from scratch as the Duo has some weird builtin Windows boot stuff hard wired. I'm not sure if Android could boot without the Windows partitions.
When I am creating a new partition with 16 GB of space does it mean that Android is going to use just this partition and 16 GB or is it just for the installation files and Android will see my whole HDD as the internal storage?
Could you please let me know how you got it up and running? I am on a UEFI yoga as well, but after the installation,
grub doesn't show up and my computer boots automatically into Windows
Thanks in advance

Did you change the boot sequence in bios? Select android to boot 1st, then Grub should ask you which os you want to launch. I installed grub 2. I also went with the triple boot. My laptop is an Asus x401a with windows 7. Along with ubuntu and android. x86 Nougat.
A little help here mates,
I installed it alongside a windows 7 ultimate.
Gave it an 80gb Partition (fat32)
So I'm planning a dual boot here.
Here's my Steps:
used rufus to create bootable from android-x86-8.1-r1.iso
booted to Flash drive
installed android to 80gb partition (with grub/windows boot entry/ and data image of 2048MB)
after installation, Reboot to test boot options
grub didn't show up, booted directly to win7
Did some researches, and from those researches I should disable SECURE BOOT, but bios don't have that option.
Also tried EasyUEFI Tool which didn't even work in windows 7
Also, no settings for UEFI or Legacy.
Boot Order doesn't show Windows bootmanager or grub too, only HDD....
I installed android in ASUS Eee Notebook Laptop 1201b
I think the only problem here is grub cant load, but I run out of solutions, so here I am asking for help.
every android on work fine in my tablet(z3735f) but there is a bug in every os no sound in headphone any one tell me how to fix it
