How to Run Linux and MS Operating System in a Single System?

- Another option would be installing VirtualBox [2] if the license does not conflict with anything in your company the extensions have a restrictive license. Then grab a small Linux distribution.

- If your company / organization already has a license for VMWare that would be yet another way.

There are tutorials on how to do these on Youtube if you prefer video instructions.

1. Dual boot. Don't do this unless you want to be an expert and understand both GRUB and Windows BCD. Have access to a 2nd device to troubleshoot when one OS randomly updates and borks GRUB/BCD, or take FULL nightly backups and be ready to restore them. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/d...

2. Put Linux in a VM. Why not? There is no real reason other than hardware. You will need dedicated cores and lots of disk space. Expect horrible battery life if this is a laptop. This is probably the best choice for you. https://www.virtualbox.org/

3. WSL2. If you would like an OS salad, do this. It's the ultimate blurry line between Windows and Linux. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

I see at least 10 relevant tutorials for that Google web search.
