Hi,

I am looking to get some hands on experience with Windows 10 and looking for the best way to go about it with out disrupting my main desktop

I have The Bolt ver 1 which is my main PC and gaming PC... I would rather not replace my OS (Windows 7) with a beta OS.

So in your opinion... what would the best option ??

Is VMware Workstation the only way to go ???  it is pricey at $199.00 or is there better options.

Thanks for your time  Big%20Smile

I'd think a 2nd HDD ($40-$60) and use it to boot win10 would work.

If you don't get the dual boot option, you can set the win10 drive to primary boot drive and restart.

I really haven't used dual boot OS since xp/Linux and a lot has changed. Maybe someone else can clarify if this would work.

You can download Oracle Virtualbox for free for personal use.

Here is a link that shows how to run Win 10 on Virtualbox. Virtualbox

Reading through the process at this site it seems that it is easier to use VMwareplayer instead of Virtuallbox.
