Title: Install a OS inside windows
Post by: Mötley on Jun 24, 2016, 05:11 PM
Is it possible to install a OS inside of windows without needing the iso disc anymore?
Just curious. I do not think it is possible, But I would like to hope that it is, I could still see reasons why you would need the iso.

*Lost my USB so I cant create a live USB install.

#installing Zorin OS

You can install windows from within windows, yes.
But other OSes that need a bootable disk you probably cannot.

Why not grab yourself a spare USB?

Can not seem to find one at the moment.
Which sucks.
As I would of been done by now.
I think the real confusion is windows to windows, but with windows to linux "No clue"

Try copying the iso contents to a hard drive partition and setting bootmgr to boot from it, then installing it

You even don't need a USB flash disk. Search "nt6 hdd installer".

Well I tried this once, but I don't have any documentation.
You just have to make a partition, put the CD shet there and configure bootmgr add a new OS which points to that partition. Reboot your computer and select this new installation and then you can install it like normal. Afterwards you can remove the installation partition.

VirtualBox, if you don't have a USB. Note: It won't work with Live USBs

When windows 10 wasn't released I <3 vista :D
Unfortunately everyone was telling me shit like 'windows xp is the safest os!'
I always hated Windows XP

Funny thing is when I bought vista I began to be one of the users to deal with game saves deleting, That info can be found over the web. So I downgraded. Other than that I really liked Vista. I havent used the upgrade disc since that day I got pissed off and downgraded many years ago, Seems I settled for XP profesional, Not home edition, I Beleave 32 bit operating systems were cheaper back then. I think these days it doesnt matter.

Maybe the os is confused as I have a quad core but it says In Vista options that 50% of my cpu is being used XP said 10%. I know the Vista build is huge. Seems the cpu is still stable 42 degrees Fahrenheit. Cpu sometimes runs around 27%

I think Win10 is the best. It's memory usage is lower than Vista and Win7 in my laptop(1GB memory). Only behind XP.

Yeah I agree with that but still there are some minor bugs so that's why it isn't that much recommended to update to Windows 10 until Microsoft fix them.

Not really microsoft's fault if people use shitty computers and then complain Win10 isn't working as nice as Win XP was...

Well, yes, there are quite a few bugs, and also, they're not harmful, but MS is trying to fix them everyday, and I've seen about 61 bugs fixed.

Actually, Win10 runs smoother with 512GB RAM than Win XP :P ( tried on a virtual box )

That's not real. Win8.1 was designed for Tablets. Win10 is both for desktop and tablets. And after some years, the professional apps would require DirectX 12, which is offered by Win10 only( as for now ). Win7 doesn't support DirectX 12, I tried installing it.

What i am saying is that i prefer win 7 above win 10 because i dont need the touchscreen shit and it is designed for that and only made compatible for desktops :P all the extra's for me are worthless :) Ofcourse the future gaming will become different. but for now :) Win 7 for me :D
