* A '''boot menu''' allows the user to select the desired OS.
* '''Advantages''' of Dual-Boot or Multi-Boot:<ol><li>This option provides a method to access your computer if one OS '''fails to boot-up'''.</li><li>Most Linux distributions can '''access Access the Windows partition''' if your Windows OS cannot boot-up.</li><li>This booting method is great for '''troubleshooting''' (''for example:'' booting into other OS to confirm that you can connect to the Internet to rule-out hardware issues).</li></ol>
* It is recommended to '''back up important data''' before proceeding.
* It is recommended to '''install the Linux OS <u>last</u>''', as other operating systems may not offer a multi-boot option.
