Key inquiry about Windows 10 and dual boot setup
You made adjustments to Linux Lite 3.0 after experiencing issues on Windows, mainly with Skype visibility. Your friends are concerned about being unable to see you in video calls, which is affecting their communication. You’re considering sticking with Linux for now but still want to use Windows for certain needs like playing Fallout 4. You’re wondering if Windows 10 will recognize your previous installation and activate the product key again, and whether dual booting from Linux is still possible.
Ok right, I was thinking about a virtual machine too but then like I said I won't be able to play Fallout 4 which I now miss. Also, I do not think I completely removed everything on the HDD fully... However I did format it in Linux Lite 3.0 pen drive so I may have removed the 1's and 0's so idk...
Typically, when you have multiple operating systems installed, the system should prompt you during startup to choose which one to boot. Unless there has been a change over the past eight years, BIOS usually doesn’t favor one over the other and lets you decide.
Choose Windows and begin installation immediately. Attempt to enter the key without removing the partition. If the key fails or triggers an error, pause the process temporarily using Linux as a backup. Unless you possess the alternative version of Windows, it’s unlikely you’ll have access to the partition before inserting the key. (If you don’t have the previews key, there’s probably nothing further to do.)
I understand that section, but for the rest I need to grasp the other details. It seems like I’ll just install both Windows 10 and Linux and test it out. Do I really need to create a separate partition for Linux so I can dual boot? Probably not.
