YES, Windows, Linux, etc...

you have to first get the CD for the OS you wish to install...then restart your PC and alternate between F9,F11, and delete...this will take you to a screen where you can edit your BIOS...find the boot sequence and change the first one to boot from CD...insert the CD you wish to install and restart your PC...after awhile it should load up the CD and allow you to install the new OS

(you can even dual boot if you defrag, learn to split your Hard Drive into partitions, and then get a program such as grub or lilo boot loader).original

It would depend on the operating system. Proprietary systems such as Microsoft Windows, Z/OS, IBM i, OpenVMS, AIX as well as other licensed UNIX implementations can only be installed and run on the machines for which they were intended and licensed. Anything else will not work because of the differences in the hardware and may also be in violation of the End-User-License.

Open source systems such as Linux do not have this problem. It is already available for may hardware platforms and the source code is freely available for anyone interested in implementing it on other machines.
