I can provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to dual boot Kali Linux with another operating system on your computer. Here are the general steps:
Note: Dual booting can potentially cause data loss or system instability if not done correctly. Make sure to backup your important data and follow the steps carefully.
Step 1: Create a backup
Before making any changes to your computer, it's important to create a backup of your important data to avoid any potential loss.
Step 2: Download Kali Linux
Go to the official Kali Linux website (https://www.kali.org/) and download the latest version of Kali Linux ISO file for your computer's architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
Step 3: Create a bootable USB drive
Create a bootable USB drive using the downloaded Kali Linux ISO file. You can use tools like Rufus (for Windows) or Etcher (for Windows, macOS, and Linux) to create a bootable USB drive.
Step 4: Boot from the USB drive
Insert the bootable USB drive into your computer and restart it. Enter the BIOS or UEFI settings of your computer and change the boot order to prioritize the USB drive. Save the changes and restart your computer.
Step 5: Install Kali Linux
When your computer boots from the USB drive, you will see the Kali Linux installation menu. Select "Graphical Install" or "Install" to start the installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the installation settings, such as language, location, keyboard layout, and disk partitioning.
Step 6: Choose dual boot option
During the installation process, you will be prompted to choose the installation type. Select the "Guided - use the largest continuous free space" option, which will automatically create a new partition for Kali Linux alongside the existing operating system.
Step 7: Complete the installation
Continue with the installation process and complete the installation of Kali Linux. Make sure to install the GRUB bootloader to the same partition where Kali Linux is installed (usually, the partition with "/" mount point).
Step 8: Reboot your computer
After the installation is complete, reboot your computer. You should now see the GRUB bootloader during startup, which will allow you to choose between the installed operating systems (e.g., Kali Linux and the existing operating system).
That's it! You have successfully dual booted Kali Linux with another operating system on your computer. During startup, you can choose which operating system you want to boot into using the GRUB bootloader.
Please note that the steps and options may vary depending on your computer's hardware, BIOS/UEFI settings, and the version of Kali Linux you are installing. It's always recommended to carefully read and follow the official documentation provided by Kali Linux or consult with experienced users if you are not familiar with the installation process.
