Hi all!

I am here listenning to your opinions. I am wondering what is the best way to install Windows 8 CP on a partiton. I installed the CP on a VirtualBox Virtual Machine and was not happpy with the result. So I decide to thrown virtualization and am looking for something a bit more native to get the best Windows 8 results.

Any suggesions? Thanks.

Tony,

There are 2 options:
1. This needs an available drive or partition. Simply install Win8 to that location & dual-boot.
2. Create a vhd on Windows7 & install Win8 on that... ends up coming up looking like it's a dual-boot. Use this, if, no drive or partition is available. This will tell you how this is done - How to use a VHD to dual-boot Windows 8 on a Windows 7 PC | ZDNet (http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/how-to-use-a-vhd-to-dual-boot-windows-8-on-a-windows-7-pc/4847)
