You can install 2 operating systems provided that you partition your SSD or Hard Disk into 2 drives. When you install a Linux distribution, it typically installs the Grub boot loader. Grub loads instead of the Windows boot loader at boot time if Windows was already installed, allowing you to choose the operating system you want to boot by modifying the Boot Configuration Data.
1. Grub2Win
Grub2Win supports 64 and 32 bit EFI and BIOS on Windows. Safely dual boot Windows and Linux from GPT or MBR disks. Grub2Win boots native GNU Grub version 2 code. Everything is contained in a single 20 MB directory on your Windows C: drive. On EFI systems a few small modules are installed to your EFI partition.
Using the simple Windows GUI and instructions you can install Grub2Win quickly and safely. Select from many OS choices. Supports Antergos, Android, Ubuntu, Debian, Suse, Fedora, Mint, Clover and Windows. Also boots ISO files. You can enter your own custom commands for each menu entry.

3. rEFInd Boot Manager
rEFInd is a fork of the Small rEFIt boot manager for computers based on the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and Unified EFI (UEFI). Like rEFIt, rEFInd is a boot manager, meaning that it presents a menu of options to the user when the computer first starts up, as shown below. rEFInd is not a boot loader, which is a program that loads an OS kernel and hands off control to it.
4. Clover EFI bootloader
This is an EFI-based bootloader for BIOS-based computers created as a replacement to the EDK2/Duet bootloader. Clover is an operating system boot loader for computers already equipped with an UEFI firmware and for those equipped with legacy BIOS firmware. An operating system (OS) may support (U)EFI (macOS, Windows, Linux) or not (Windows XP). Legacy boot is used for the last one, that is, the old BIOS system is used to handle boot sectors.
- Boot macOS, Windows, and Linux in UEFI or legacy mode on Mac or PC with UEFI or BIOS firmware
- Boot using UEFI firmware directly or CloverEFI UEFI firmware emulation
- Customizable GUI including themes, icons, fonts, background images, animations, and mouse pointers.

5. Grub
GNU GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB, the GRand Unified Bootloader, which was originally designed and implemented by Erich Stefan Boleyn.
Briefly, a boot loader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts. It is responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating system kernel software (such as the Hurd or Linux). The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system (e.g. GNU).
6. Super Grub2 Disk
Super GRUB2 Disk helps you to boot into most any Operating System (OS) even if you cannot boot into it by normal means. Super Grub2 Disk is a live CD that helps the user to boot into almost any operating system even if the system cannot boot into it by normal means. This allows a user to boot into an installed operating system if their GRUB installation has been overwritten, erased or otherwise corrupted.
Super Grub2 Disk can detect installed operating systems and provide a boot menu which allows the user to boot into their desired operating system. Super Grub2 Disk is not an operating system itself, but a live boot loader which can be run from a CD or USB thumb drive. Everything option to detect most Operating Systems.
- grub.cfg – (GRUB2 configuration files)
- menu.lst – (GRUB legacy configuration files)
- core.img – (GRUB2 installation (even if mbr is overwritten))
- Bootable ISOs (in /boot-isos or /boot/boot-isos)

Последний месяц выдался урожайным на новые версии операционных систем: сначала Microsoft показала нам предварительную версию Windows 8, а совсем недавно вышел плановый релиз Ubuntu 11.10. Уверен, что многие наши читатели не отказали себе в удовольствии попробовать в деле эти новинки, и в результате у них на жестком диске оказались установленными сразу несколько операционных систем. Поэтому самое время познакомиться с простой и удобной программой, которая поможет навести порядок в загрузочном меню Windows.
EasyBСD — это бесплатная для некоммерческого использования программа, служащая для настройки загрузки операционных систем. Программа работает в Windows Vista/Windows 7 и может изменять параметры загрузки ОС, а также добавлять возможность загрузки других ОС, например более ранних версий Windows или MS-DOS, Linux, BSD и даже Mac OS X.
Интерфейс программы состоит из одного окна, переключение между функциями происходит с помощью кнопок в левой панели. Кнопка View Settings покажет существующие элементы загрузочного меню Windows. На вкладке Edit Boot Menu можно отредактировать название ОС, порядок их отображения, выбрать систему по умолчанию, удалить ненужное и изменить некоторые другие опции.
Для добавления новых операционных систем в меню загрузки служит вкладка Add New Entry. Обратите внимание, что добавить можно как уже установленную на жесткий диск ОС, так и образ диска ISO, WinPE или даже флоппи дисковода.
На вкладке BCD Backup/Repair мы можем сделать резервное копирование или восстановление загрузчика Windows, что может нам пригодиться в случае непредвиденных проблем. Обратите также внимание на раздел BCD Deployment, в котором можно создать загрузочный USB или внешний диск, а также установить загрузчик в MBR.
EasyBСD является мощным, не имеющим аналогов бесплатным инструментом для управления загрузочным меню Windows 7/Vista. С его помощью можно быстро и удобно организовать загрузку нескольких систем, изменить опции загрузчика, использовать как средство восстановления и решения проблем. Вместе с тем, всегда следует иметь в виду, что бездумное использование подобных программ может привести к непредсказуемым последствиям. Поэтому рекомендуем сначала изучить справочную документацию.

Как упростить работу с несколькими Windows, установленными на одном компьютере? «Да куда уж проще?», — могут подумать многие, и отчасти будут правы. Мультизагрузчик формата Win8.1/Win10 позволяет настраивать меню выбора ОС прямо в своём окне.
В этом окне можем указать значение таймера ожидания нашего выбора из трёх возможных вариантов – 5 минут, 30 и 5 секунд. И также можем указать, какая из систем должна стоять в перечне первой и, соответственно, загружаться по истечении отсчёта таймера.
В среде одной из установленных Windows, в её свойствах можем ещё кое-что подкорректировать.
Правда, немногое – указать произвольное значение таймера ожидания нашего выбора или временно отключить загрузку других ОС, оставив для запуска только текущую. А потом при необходимости вернуть мультизагрузчик назад.
Как видим, всё необходимое есть в арсенале самой Windows. Но утилита iReboot предлагает нам ещё большее удобство – выбор нужной ОС для загрузки прямо в системном трее.
iReboot – бесплатная утилита от компании-разработчика NeoSmart Technlogies, создателя известной программы EasyBCD для редактирования загрузчика Windows. Эта программа селится в трее ОС и работает в фоне. При клике правой клавишей мыши по её значку увидим небольшую менюшку с выбором установленных Windows. Выставляем в этом меню галочку нужной ОС, и она запустится после перезагрузки или при следующем включении компьютера. Запустится напрямую, минуя окно мультизагрузчика.
А если установить галочку опции «Reboot on Selection», пункт активированной для следующего запуска Виндовс превратится в кнопку перезагрузки компьютера. Вызываем меню iReboot, двойным кликом выбираем нужную Windows, компьютер тотчас же перезагружается, и запускается нужная нам система. Вот так всё просто и удобно. iReboot можно установить внутри всех имеющихся на компьютере Windows и оперативно переключаться между ними.
Программа работает только с ОС, добавленными в загрузчик той, внутри которой запущена iReboot. Если Виндовс стоит на другом жёстком диске, у неё свой отдельный загрузчик, и она запускается через меню выбора устройств загрузки BIOS, iReboot не будет её обнаруживать. Но такую Windows (равно как и любую иную, запись о загрузке которой удалена или изначально отсутствовала), можно легко добавить в меню загрузки основной системы – с помощью программы EasyBCD. В меню iReboot есть пункт «Get EasyBCD!», ведущий на страницу загрузки этой программы.
Устанавливаем EasyBCD, запускаем, кликаем «Добавить запись». В первой вкладке «Windows» указываем:
• Тип – последние версии системы;
• Имя – задаём удобное нам название системы, как она будет значиться в мультизагрузчике и меню iReboot;
• Диск – букву раздела системы.
В итоге жмём зелёную кнопку-плюсик.
Далее останется только перезапустить iReboot.
