→Linux Installation Methods
* A '''boot menu''' allows the user to select the desired OS
* This options provides a method to still use your computer if one OS fails to boot-up
* Most Linux distributions can access the Windows partition if your Windows OS cannot boot-up
* This option is great for troubleshooting: for example booting into other OS to confirm that you can connect to the Internet to rule-out hardware issues
* The installation process will take some of the free disk space from the OS already installed
* It is recommended to back up important data before proceeding
