Issues Dual booting Windows 10 with Linux

Hi everyone.

Is there any way I can dual-boot my PC(working with Windows10) with Linux?

The Live USB that worked on W8.1 doesn't work anymore, sow I can't use that way. It couldn't find my USB, and also couldn't start from it, but I have the right things selected from how it needs to start up (sorry, my English isn't sow good)

Once, It sayd I need to even use my W8 installation disc (who I can't find :/ ) to repair W10, when I tried to do it.

What's going wrong? Error in W10?

I use the W10 build 9841(if the problem is solved with upgrading, please tell me)

Hi All,

In a Dual-Boot Scenario, Windows Technical Preview must be installed on the second or third partition of the Hard Drive, since it is the newer operating system. Regardless, of what partition you installed Windows Technical Preview on, it will take the C:\ Drive Name and rename the original C:\ partition, a different name within Windows Technical Preview.

Then, when installing on the first partition, you will lose the ability to dual-boot.

Adding:

In a Dual-Boot Scenario, Windows 10 Technical Preview must be installed on a partition, other than the first partition. It can indeed be installed on a partition before a partition with an existing operating system partition. I use Drive C: before installing Windows 10 Technical Preview to Hold My Documents Folder and the Boot information for the Hard Drive itself.

Now, to access the older operating systems, just select Other Existing Operating Systems at boot and the system will reboot and take you to the other operating system. Just make sure to select the correct operating system.
