How to Run Multiple Operating Systems on Windows!

~~~~ How to Run Multiple Operating Systems on Windows!~~~~

Welcome to Tech Addict
Today I’m going to show you how to run multiple Operating Systems on Windows.
Sometimes we want to try another operating system, like any Linux distro, but can’t install it as we don’t want to mess up with the currently installed OS.
Here is the method by which you will be able to run any (and even multiple) Operating Systems within your current operating system.
Actually, here we are using Virtualization.
Virtual machines can seem juuuuust a bit too geeky for most otherwise computer-friendly people. That's sad, because it's an easy, free way to try another operating system, or use those one or two apps you can't get on yours. And you can do it all separate from your current setup.
What's virtualization? Why get that nerdy?

Virtualization is a whole computer concept unto itself, at least on the server/enterprise/big-fancy-corporate level. For home users, talk about "virtual machines" generally refers to x86 virtualization. Basically, it's software that allows an entire operating system (the "guest") to run on another OS (the "Host"), whether in a container window, or full-screen, or in what's sometimes called a "seamless" mode, where just one application is run from the "guest"

Why would you want to run a virtual machine on your computer? Plenty of reasons:

You like using one OS, but need just an app or two from another running in their natural environments—Office or Photoshop in Windows (nine times out of 10), a light-on-resources game, or maybe even some uber-cool Linux app.
You want to try out some new software, but would rather not chance it mucking up the pretty decent system you've got right now.
Web sites that don't play nice with the operating system you're running (we're looking at you, almost every streaming site except Hulu and YouTube).
You're intrigued at the idea of trying out a Linux desktop, but the word "partitioning" doesn't sound like how you want to spend a Saturday afternoon.

For those and many other good reasons, we're going to walk through installing VirtualBox, a free, open-source virtualization tool offered for Windows, Mac, and Linux desktops, and then get virtual copies of Windows XP and Ubuntu running inside them. Installing Windows Vista (Ultimate or Business only, unfortunately) or the Windows 7 beta is about the same process, and almost any Linux distribution is friendly as a virtual machine, but this will give you an understanding of the basic process. Before you even ask, by the way, you can't run OS X as a guest system on Windows or Linux, but the VirtualBox can run most anything else—including those pre-rolled virtual images you find laying around the internet.

I have to note here that VirtualBox is far from the only competitor in this field—in fact, many in the tech community report that VMWare's Workstation offers more features and handles multiple virtual machines better. But VirtualBox is relatively easy to set up, free to install, and works on all three major operating systems.

In this video, available at youtu.be/dLmyLfHAScI , you'll learn how to get started with VirtualBox, and run multiple Operating Systems on Windows!
