Is triple booting possible and risks

Hello,

Installation of different OS in the same machine and booting them into is possible and called multi-boot. It’s simple but also risky as you’re installing Linux on Windows installation.

1. First of all, download and install EasyBCD.
2. Free-up some space of your HDD for installing Ubuntu. At least, 25GB is recommended.
3. Download Ubuntu ISO and make a bootable USB. You can use Universal USB Installer.
4. Boot into the USB, install Ubuntu on the freed-up space. Learn how to do it.
5. Then, boot into Windows.
6. Launch EasyBCD.
7. Select “BCD Deployment” >> check “Install the Windows Vista/7 bootloader to MBR” >> hit “Write MBR”.
8. Go to “Add New Entry”.
9. Add the Windows installation and Linux installation to the list.

This tutorial will be very helpful to you.
