Video: Dual-boot Windows XP and Windows 7

Bill Detwiler explains how to create a dual-boot system that runs both Windows XP and Windows 7, using EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition.

If you’re a Windows XP holdout who’s curious about Windows 7 but still cautious about jumping into a new OS, today’s tip is just for you. In this week’s TR Dojo episode, I show you how to create dual-boot system that runs both Windows XP and Windows 7.
