How To Dual Boot Linux Mint And Windows 10 Tips on how to choose to use Linux on your system Use Linux inside Windows in a virtual machine : This runs a Linux OS like any other application within Windows. This is also one of the safest ways to get a feel of Linux. However, this will utilize your system resources and if you have less than 4Gb of RAM, I won’t advise using it extensively. Use a live version of Linux : In this method, you put Linux on a USB or DVD and you boot from it. This is usually slow and your changes done to the Linux system are (normally) not saved. This is particularly useful if you just want to see what Linux feels like. Remove WIndows and Linux : If you have backed up your data and have a recovery or installation disk of Windows ready with you or if you are determined that you are not going back to Windows, you can remove Windows completely and use only Linux. Install Linux alongside Windows : This method is called dual booting Linux with Windows...

DOS isn’t widely used anymore, but you’re still likely at some point to need to boot into a DOS environment. Windows’ built-in formatting utility lets you create a DOS-bootable floppy drive, but not a USB drive. Here’s how to get around that. DOS may be a relic of the past, but you wouldn’t know that from reading instructions written by manufacturers for BIOS updates, firmware-updating utilities, and other low-level system tools.
