However, I have only installed ubuntu on my comp. Is it possible to install windows or another alternative linux distro (dual boot)? |
Yes it is .
But if you decide to dual boot with windows you have to reinstall GRUB . Because windows write in to MBR so GRUB is gone . But reinstalling GRUB is not a problem . If you are going to dual boot with a linux distro , the last installed GRUB is in use Ease way install windows first and than linux . Make two partitions on you're hard drive to dual boot |
If you have a new enough system, try a virtual machine to run windows or the other way around.
