[SOLVED] Is a dual boot on a single hard drive irreversible ?
by Aloys from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5P089)
Hi !
I'm very new to linux, and I didn't want to lose my windows license, so I thought it would be a good idea to dual boot linux and windows. However, my computer only has a single hard drive, so I concluded I would need to make a partition of my hard drive to use with linux and the rest with windows. However, I'm not sure but I think that partitioning your hard drive is irreversible ? It is possible that in the future, I end up using only linux or go back to windows, so I don't know if it's a very good idea. In addition, my hard drive doesn't have that much space (256 GB, although I do have a 1 TB external hard drive) and so I was wondering if it was a good idea to dual boot or not ?
Thanks for your advice !
