Can you have two operating systems on one computer?
Yes, but only one can be in control of the system. When a choice of operating systems exist, you typically choose the controlling operating system via a boot menu at startup. To switch to another operating system, you must restart the system. It is possible to run two or more operating systems at the same time via virtual machines. A virtual machine is a software program that emulates a real computer. However, operating systems within a virtual machine have no direct control over the physical machine which is always under the direct control of the one operating system chosen at startup. Virtual machine operating system calls are routed to the virtual machine software which must translate the call to invoke the appropriate system function of controlling operating system. As a result, virtual machines perform extremely poorly compared to the physical machines within which they operate.
