Hypervisors VirtualBox | Linux Mint issues audio delay for virtual machines
Decided to experiment with dual-booting Linux. Nearly finished formatting the entire disk but failed. Updated: Realizing the problems I mentioned, I proceeded with the dual-boot setup. Interesting and unsettling experience. I assumed there was a way to add a Linux partition during installation, didn’t expect to need volume reduction in Windows first. I stopped the Linux install quickly. Once completed, the system automatically switched to trial mode. I was about to reinstall Windows 7 when I noticed my System Reserved partition still present. I stopped the installation, hoping it hadn’t been altered. The Windows 7 screen looked surprisingly pleasant. Almost panicked, I made a backup using the built-in tool. I usually perform regular manual backups of important files, then detach the drive. Installing a fresh OS proved time-consuming. From this, I plan to include periodic on-demand backups in my routine. I generally don’t like image backups because there’s always a risk the backed-up OS might contain undetected malware. I’m pretty sure this install was secure, but safety isn’t absolute.
