i have had windows 8.1 on my pc since i built it around 6 months ago..however iv been looking at switching to linux since my install of windows in buggy as hell....so what would i need to do to keep my current install of windows 8.1 on my pc while installing linux...is there some way io could just install linux on a second hard drive and tell windows to boot from that hdd instead of the current one that my install of windows is on? or would it be more complicated then that?
any help would be very welcome...i was looking at installing something called zorin os whis supposedly is built on linux but looks simaler to windows 7
