I like Linux but want to see the running status of Linux on a physical machine rather than just running it on a virtual machine. So I tried to install CentOS on a Windows 7 system, achieve the purpose of using the dual-system switch. After more than half a day of experiment, it was a success. Now I will introduce my methods to you and hope to help you.
Note: 1. Due to hard disk operations, back up data properly to avoid loss.
2. I used a virtual machine for testing to achieve image coverage in every step, but please rest assured that I have successfully implemented it on my physical machine.
3. My steps are absolutely correct and indispensable. You must follow my steps.
Let me introduce the required software first.
