Yes,

Windows and Linux can be on the same machine. You have to look at Linux FAQ's to determine which to install first as I don't remember. The point is that it isn't difficult and it isn't crazy.

To switch the machine has to be rebooted. There was an effort to have an emulator under Linux (e.g. WINE) to run a windows session in a Linux window. I don't know the status but you take a performance hit

There are commercial products for running different OS's from within Windows, do a Google search. These are availablke for the MacOS as well

The latest versiuon of OSX is claimed to be able to run windows as a built in feature. Go to apple.com to find out

good luck

Can a operating system for a computer be downloaded onto the computer?

Yes, a computer operating system can be downloaded onto your computer. One of the most common file formats to download operating systems is the .img file format. The .img file format can be used by programs like Oracle's VirtualBox, to create a virtual computer on your own computer. This uses the operating system that is saved in the .img file without overriding your current computers operating system and basically creates another "fake" or virtual computer within your own computer. However, these operating systems can also be used to replace your current operating system or to dual boot your computer, this means to have two operating systems installed on one computer at the same time. Operating systems can also be downloaded for the sole purpose of replacing your current operating system. For example, when a person upgrades their computer from running Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, they are essentially downloading a new operating system on to their computer from Microsoft, but in a way that it completely replaces their current operating system.
