How Many Versions of WINDOWS Can You DUAL BOOT at ONCE?

[@Levi12O8]

8:01 the vista installation detected ntldr (the boot loader 2000 and xp use), but starting with vista windows uses bootmgr and i think it just places bootmgr (the newer windows boot loader) on the partition with the existing installations, and bootmgr allows you to go to ntldr under "earlier version of windows" 19:29 the MBR partition scheme only supports 4 primary partitions, and you've used all of them up by this point, though you could've made the 4th one an extended partition with multiple logical drives and potentially install other versions of windows but i'm not sure how well that would work, if at all

Maybe at some day you have to revisit the 5 counts - Vista and above boot fine from extended partitions - Windows 8 and above can boot from a VHD file stored on a NTFS partition, as long as the free space on the NTFS partition is more than the maximum allowed grow size of the VHD. It can even install directly to a VHD file if during setup you open cmd window and mount one with DISKPART. (I used this sometimes to install another Windows version on a machine without repartitioning to test driver support). - I believe Windows 2000 can also dual-boot with DOS; and from DOS you can start Windows 1.0 to Windows ME all installed on a single FAT partition. - If you start with Windows 8 (or 7 unofficially) you can install in UEFI mode on GPT Partition which has no limit of primary or extended partitions (other than free disk space)

19:15 The reason why the Windows 10 installer said "You have the maximum number of partitions is because for GPT Disks you can have up to 128 partitions and for MBR Disks you can have only 4 partitions. To convert from MBR to GPT you can use third party apps like MiniTool Partition Wizard which has support from Windows XP to Windows 11 whether its 32 or 64 bit. Or, you could use AOMEI Partition Assistant which has support for Windows 7 to Windows 11. And also when installing MiniTool, DO NOT CHOOSE THE PRO TRIAL because when you try to do something it will not let you do it until you buy the pro version. If you choose the pro trial dont worry, this can be fixed by reinstalling MiniTool

You can install up to 128 operating systems on a UEFI system with a GPT disk, as GPT supports up to 128 partitions by default. However, managing that many OS installations can be complex due to boot management and system resource demands. Most users find it practical to dual boot two or three OSes.

This tutorial is not fully correct. Since it's MBR you can only boot 4 versions (because the maximum number of partitions allowed is 4) but you could use GPT and with that you can boot up to 256 different OS (the maximum number would be much more, but Windows only supports up to 256 partitions). The disadvantage is that only Windows Vista (or 7) or greater support this, and requires a UEFI BIOS. GPT (GUID partition table) has a big advantage: you don't need to have active partitions: every partition is bootable. Some years ago I tried this and I could boot 10 different OS with no problems. (As I said I could have done much better, but I think it's still a great result).

My experience with Windows ended at Win98. I used XP for a short time to test it out, but I don't really count that because it was just a couple of months and since then I've been Linux only. I've never tried to dual boot multiple Windows' versions, so I didn't even know it was possible, but you can make your life a whole lot easier by just using a good OS instead.

good work, but i would recomend you install evry windows version on separate partition , and have backup or restore point when you go to f8 safe mode for them if you can boot, installing new versions the more you do the more there is possibiloty that old ones with older boot managers give you error screen like of windows 2000, and the thing is that you need to have at least as well either more older ones which is compatible with like 2000 and xp , when windows vista and 7 and 8 and 8.1 and windows 10 you install and 11 , you will not have lost them they are new win nt versions they could maybe sometimes just deactivate version but not ruin ability for use and you just reactivate you can from vista to 10 use with reactivating and it is always then and always no matter if older or new versions you install to all always put on separate pertitions. and if you want to use longer use ssd dist and not hdd , ssd last longer with several partitions with in evry you install windows operating systems, the more you have the more slows your computer or laptop down, and the best thing is that you have backup of data and on external sources you put data so it will work faster when you have several windows operating systems slows it down the advice i tell you better then store your data not to work extremly slow store data on usb or cd and dvd and floppy or whatever external data storage things you have , put there music and movies or pictures or business data or whatever that is important to you on external for both faster use of computer and for security reasons because if you install on hdd and not on ssd then it lasts not as long as ssd disk which is better then hard drive.

you can't dual boot on one partition with the newer versions of windows because all of their files is the same name so it won't work like everyone said mbr drives can't have more than 4 partitions idk about gpt but ik it can have a lot and you can't use gpt because old versions of windows don't support gpt drives so you need more drives to continue

XP software uses basic CD-R discs to burn programs too and the other OS use DVD-R discs to burn software to. Good luck my friend. P.s. what I did for all six OS was just what I'm leaving you here. Just remember to boot from the boot menu and select wherever your CD-ROM ls listed.
