hello ,
I have bought a HP laptop with windows 8.1 (x 64) installed and a recovery partition (16 GB) instead of an installation DVD .
I added myself a second partition (~100 GB) for my personal files and especially for a Windows Image Backup renewed every month including new updates and files changes etc.
I created a recovery USB stick (16 GB) and an installation DVD from Microsoft using the " Create installation media for windows 8.1 " and reserved the free upgrade for Windows 10 .
Now , how I could create a double boot installation ( windows 10 - windows 8.1 ) using all this stuff in case I wouldn't like Windows 10 ? I'm thinking of creating an unallocated space , booting from installation DVD to install windows 8.1 and finally to use the existing System Image Backup in order to recover my previous windows 8.1 installation ? am I right or wrong ?
Please help . Thanks for your anticipation .
