Hi Folks,
So, now I have a new* windows 10 laptop and need to install my favouritedistro, Debian. I'm not an IT pro but have been exclusively using Linuxsuccessfully for around 10 years now. I have probably done under 20installs during this time. The distro's I have selected have all hadvery easy graphical installers and I used them with the defaults. I havenever done any serious command line fettling during an install - I don'thave the skill(yet).
One major difference for this install, as compared to previous, is thatI would like to keep the windows partition and be able to boot into it.The *only* reason for this is if the kids *need* a specific applicationthat is only available on windoze. Previously I have successfullymanaged to dual boot a machine; but, I have also heard about disk-imagesand virtual machines. But this is where my knowledge of this topic ends.Never used them before. Could I virtualise the windows instance and useit on a debian base? or is that not done/wise?
I found some reasonable instructions to guide me through a dual bootinstall. It has been a while. lolhttps://www.linuxtechi.com/dual-boot-windows-10-debian-10/<https://www.linuxtechi.com/dual-boot-windows-10-debian-10/>
Thanks for any pointers.
I'm now off to eat an ice cream waffle from just-eat!! haha! It'sturning into a day of firsts. lol...
cheers roly :-)

If you want to install Debian. I would give it a week or two as Debian11 is in full freeze so will be ready for release very soon.
