Posted January 20, 201311 yr FPCH Admin So I purchased a new laptop with Win7 installed in it, and decided to take advantage of the cheap Win8 upgrade offer - just in case. I'm not willing to fully commit myself to Win8 yet but I'd like to fiddle around with it anyway, and so I tried to create a dual boot on another partition which failed because of the disk being of GPT style. Now, after reading a bit, I though of this: would I be able to delete the existing partitions and reformat the drive to be MBR and then reinstall Win7 (from a recovery DVD) in this new partition, and then install Win8 after that on a new second partition? Would this work (as in not making any harm to the drive itself), and get my system to dual boot both of them? View the thread Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
