Fucking Windows 8/8.1

Thing is for Linux Mint I still need a Windows install disc in case I need to revert.

But I can't do away with Fedora that easily... like I said, it's compatible with everything else running at work (everything that isn't windows!)

When you install linux, you can make it so that you have a dual boot, that is, you can either boot into windows or linux. Actually, you can multi-boot - boot into any number of linuxes or windows... it's only limited by your hard drive capacity for multiple OSs. Sorry about forgetting to mention this option earlier.

And to install software, and to get admin privileges inside certain folders, to do any sudo commands, coming out of sleep, coming out of screensaver. Some of those you can turn off, but Linux has safeguards so you don't fuck up any important files.

Sounds good to me. I password all that anyway.
I'd love to do multiboot. Gonna do this Windows 10 plan first though because I only had until the 29th to get it for free... if it fails I'll dual boot with Linux Mint. One more question If I keep Windows 8 and use dual boot, and just use Linux... will Windows 8 as the other optional boot in the background force me to do updates after I switch off my computer? Or can I just act like Windows doesn't exist and not worry about Windows Updates ever again and just have it as an option to boot to if I ever run into problems with Linux? 
Hammy, there's a chance something will fuck it all up.
Make sure you are happy to lose anything on the hard disk just in case. Does your current notebook have the secret reinstall partition? You may lose that also.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear. 
Now I go fucking Windows, to earn an honest bob

If you just use linux, windows will not be in use, will not run any updates, will not run. The down side is... when you do boot into windows, it will try to do ALL the updates that it didn't get a chance to do at the correct time... from Windows' POV, it's like you left the computer off all that time. |
