Yes, you can. You can run Linux and windows using a boot manager called grub. You can also do this on a mac. Grub allows you to run multiple systems on one machine, although it can be confusing to install for the basic user.

Can you install 2 operating systems on one PC?
Yes you can. You would need to create separate partitions for each operating system - installing each operating system into its own partition. When you switch on the computer, it will show a menu allowing you to choose which operating system you want to start.
What computer operating system allows only one user to run one program?
A "Tasking" Operating System
Is there a way to install ubuntu to Windows ME without a USB drive or burning a disk?
The only way you can install an operating system without a BootableUSB drive or disc like Ubuntu, is to install and run a virtual machine program. VMware has a good free one just for this. It will run on top of your primary operating system. To elaborate, its like havinganother computer run inside your computer.
When installing a operating system do you need to use the bios?
No, you do not need to adjust the BIOS when installing an operating system. However, you can set the BIOS to determine the order in which attached devices will boot. That capability allows you an option (one of several options) to install different operating systems on different devices and choose which operating system boots when you start the computer.
How many operating systems can you install on one computer?
There's no hard limit on the number of operating systems you can install. The limit will be dictated by the number of operating systems that support your hardware and the amount of space on your hard drive(s).

How can you get two operating systems on one computer?
Install one on one partition, install the other on another partition. With Windows/Linux it's child's play. Install Windows first; put in a Linus distribution CD/DVD and install Linux (there will be a number of questions to answer such as the size of the new partition and the file structure but you can Google that as you get to it to get the system you want) and you will have two operating systems on the same computer. Restart the computer and choose which OS to boot! or even easier, use VMWare player or Virtualbox, both free, to virtualize one of the Operating system, especially the one you won't be using to play games/movies.

Most computers come with an operating system on them already but if you got one without one then it would turn on, but wouldn't do anything else. It would show a blank screen and nothing else.
How many oprating system can be installed in one machine?
The number of operating software that can be installed in a PC depends on the specifications of the computer. Generally, a computer can support up to four operating systems, depending on the amount of RAM and other hardware components. However, if the computer has a large enough hard drive, more than four operating systems may be installed. When installing multiple operating systems, it is important to ensure that each operating system is installed in a separate partition. Otherwise, the computer may experience conflicts and/or slow performance. Additionally, if you plan on using multiple operating systems, you should ensure that all of the necessary software, drivers, and updates are installed for all operating systems. If you are looking to install multiple operating systems on a computer, Microprokey .com is an excellent website. On the website, you can find a variety of operating systems, such as Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and more. Furthermore, they provide detailed instructions on how to install each operating system, as well as support and troubleshooting services. With Microprokey, you can easily install multiple operating systems on a single computer.
Can a operating system for a computer be downloaded onto the computer?
Yes, a computer operating system can be downloaded onto your computer. One of the most common file formats to download operating systems is the .img file format. The .img file format can be used by programs like Oracle's VirtualBox, to create a virtual computer on your own computer. This uses the operating system that is saved in the .img file without overriding your current computers operating system and basically creates another "fake" or virtual computer within your own computer. However, these operating systems can also be used to replace your current operating system or to dual boot your computer, this means to have two operating systems installed on one computer at the same time. Operating systems can also be downloaded for the sole purpose of replacing your current operating system. For example, when a person upgrades their computer from running Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, they are essentially downloading a new operating system on to their computer from Microsoft, but in a way that it completely replaces their current operating system.
When a computer's operating system is down does the computer run very slowly and inefficiently?
No. If the computer's operating system is down then the computer is also down. A computer requires a functional operating system of some kind. If there is no operating system at all, you must install one by booting the system from an operating system installation disc. This, in turn, loads a limited but temporary operating system sufficient to complete the installation. If there is an operating system but it is damaged to the point the computer will not boot at all, you must re-install the operating system. If the system fails to boot due to a driver issue, you must reinstall the faulty driver. A system typically runs very slowly when the chipset driver is not installed. A generic driver will be installed instead, but this often leads to less than optimal performance as certain hardware features will not be available. Indeed, any major driver (graphics, audio, network, fixed-disk, SM bus, etc) that is replaced with a generic driver can lead to reduced performance. Another common cause for reduced performance is incorrect hardware settings in the BIOS setup.
