What else can I help you with?
Can you install Linux and keep Windows?
Yes, install Windows first, then whichever distribution of Linux you want second.
If you install Linux on a Windows 7 computer can you use Windows 7 and Linux?
Yes, you can. It's called dualbooting. I guess with Linux you mean a Linux Distribution like Ubuntu? Check the related link if you want to know how.
Why can't you install Windows after Linux?
You can. But the Windows installation does not put an entry into it's boot menu, so you have to manually copy a boot sector, and modify the boot menu so you can boot Linux. Linux distributions expect that you may want to dual-boot, so they detect Windows and set up an option for it automatically. For convenience's sake, it is far easier to install Windows first.
Can Red Hat Linux 8 be upgraded to Windows XP?
Windows XP is not in the direct upgrade path of Red Hat Linux 8.0. If you want to install Windows XP on a computer / server with RHL, you need to check the hardware specifications to see if Windows XP supports it.
How can you Install Linux in my Windows 7 platform?
Most Linux distros will by default install themselves secondary to Windows, BUT you MUST FIRST make a separate partition on your HD for Linux to install on, for the install erases everything that is already on that partition. How to do that is found in your Windows Help. If that's a problem for you, many Linux distros can be run from a CD or DVD, without installation to the HD, so you can try them out to get the feel of them. Knoppix is one such distro. If you want something as like to Windows as possible, try Lubuntu or its parent Ubuntu. But be aware that Linux is NOT a free windows. If you are a command line junkie like myself, I recommend Slackware. If you are into designing and building your own OS based on the Linux kernel, try Arch. In short, the various Linux distros (or flavors) are all different to one another, each having their own design philosophy. Deciding which one you want will be your major problem. Google 'linux reviews'.
How do you install ubuntu on windows based computer?
A quick and relatively easy method of getting Ubuntu Linux - if you already have a Windows system and you want to run Ubuntu Linux on it - is to download Ubuntu and install it by using the Wubi (the Windows-based Ubuntu Installer) from this Ubuntu web site: http://wubi-installer.org You can use the Wubi (Windows-based Ubuntu Installer) to download and install Ubuntu Linux in Windows and this is very similar to installing any software program in Windows. One of the great benefits of using the "Wubi Installer" is that you can also uninstall Ubuntu Linux from Windows if you need to (in the same way as you uninstall any Windows program). When you use the "Wubi Installer", you DON'T have to do the following steps (that you would "typically" need to do) to install the Desktop version of Ubuntu Linux on an existing Windows system: download a Linux ISO file burn the Linux ISO file to a Linux CD set up your computer to boot from CD boot with the Linux CD to run Linux "Live" and get to the GNOME desktop double-click on the "Install" icon to start the installation routine run the Ubuntu Linux installation routine Ubuntu Linux Training Tips: The Wubi Installer is only used to install the Desktop (not Server) Edition of Ubuntu Linux on an existing Windows system - and not on a new or used computer system that doesn't have Windows already installed on it. All of the "download, burn, setup, and so on" steps listed above will be described shortly in upcoming sections. The Ubuntu Linux installation steps described above are required to install the Desktop and Server Editions (versions) of Ubuntu Linux - either on a computer system that has Windows (to create a Dual-Boot Windows / Linux system) or one that doesn't have Windows Ubuntu Linux Training Tips: Keep in mind that prior to installing Ubuntu Linux (or any Linux distro) on an existing Windows system, you need to do a complete backup of your Windows system - twice! Also make sure that you can use the backups that you have created to restore your Windows system from backup.

How do you connect a PC running Windows XP to a laptop running Linux?
This depends on how you want to "connect" them. If you install and configure Samba on the laptop, it can share files with Windows. If you are not interested in sharing files, but just want to control the laptop from within Windows, install an SSH server on the laptop, and connect to it from Windows using puTTY.
Why is it difficult to install Windows when Linux is already installed?
By using the Windows partitioner to make space by reszing partitions and installing Windows, then reinstalling the Linux bootloader. It is generally considered better form to install Windows first and then Linux.
Why do Linux programs not run in Windows?
The 2 operating systems are different from each other. Linux programs aren't meant to work in Windows most of the time. If you want to run Linux programs in Windows, install cygwin, and compile them from source code.
Is Linux better than windows?
It all depends on what you want to do with your computer.
How do you download Japanese on your computer?
In most cases Japanese language input support is available in Windows, Mac, and Linux. You just have to provide the Windows installation CD (Windows only). For Linux, you just have to install the appropriate input method engine (an example is iBus), then use it to add the appropriate language keyboard you wish to use. As far as switching display languages for the entire computer, with Windows you have to get a legitimate copy of Windows for the region of you want to use (e.g. Japanese Windows in this case), and with Linux you can set this option when you install it onto your computer or if your log-in screen allows, it will also allow you to change the display language for your session.
Why do you need to use virtual simulation software such as Microsoft VirtualPC Sun VirtualBox and VMWare Workstation to install Linux?
You don't. Linux runs just fine on real hardware, and can be dual-booted with Windows fairly easily. Virtualization software is a semi-popular choice for people who use Windows regularly, but who want to try Linux without messing around with disk partitions, or who want to run both without rebooting their computer to switch between them. Many users also do the reverse, running Windows in a virtual machine on top of Linux. Not because they can't install Windows, but because they only need to use it for a couple of tasks and it makes no sense to reboot for those simple tasks.
