Hi guys, I want to ask you a question that if I install two windows and I want to use both simultaneously, would I be able to use it easily and would it provide me an option for the window...... Please Help me.... Thanks in Advanced

It depends which OS' but in general yes, google "Dual booting windows 7 and 8" or whatever you want to dual boot. If you have any more questions or help with it, feel free to ask here

You will get the option to choose what OS you want to boot onto every time you boot, you can also set the default.

Best way to get everything working is
1) inside your computer, unplug the power wire to a hdd so that you have only connected power to one hdd, get windows set up and working properly on the hdd that is connnected.
2) unplug the power wire to the first hdd, then plug in power to the other hdd
3) get 2nd copy of windows properly set up on 2nd hdd
4) connect power to both HDD. You will get a choice which you boot into when you start your computer.

Make sure you turn off the computer before you plug or unplug the power wires to the HDDs as discussed above.

I tried this but it didn't work
Its stated as below-
I started update and started win 7 update
On the setup it asked for upgrade and custom
Upgrade for keeping files and etc. and custom for nothing
And I want my files also
But it didn't allow me to do it and asked for putting the disc afterwards (I am doing a bootable pendrive upgrade
I restarted but it didn't work

You need to partition your Hard Drive, one for each OS, make sure to back up your important files before doing this, just in case. You can do this in Disk Management.

I'm not sure I completely understand what you are asking but if you install two OS' on different partitions, nothing should be lost, I never had an issue with using two OS'. I was going to dual boot windows 7 and windows 10 but I couldn't as they use a different partition type, MBR vs GPT but it depends how you formatted it I guess.

As long as you don't accidentally format the wrong partition, no data should be lost, but back up important files onto an external drive just in case.
