If you have to watch this .... And you're learning from this..... And you didn't know this before..... Dude/Dudette and everyone in between, I'm proud of you. Don't stop checking in on videos like this or actively searching for videos like this.

Thank you David. I’m an IT professional and install various flavours of Linux quite often. But it’s always good to watch a well made video. I love your content in general so keep up the good spirit!

Thank you David for this great content on how to install and operate dual OS . I have been trying to configure installing kali on my laptop which you have covered well on this video. This video perfectly matches my requirements. 😊

As always, great content David. This was one of my first projects a few years ago when I was starting my cyber-security journey. Everything went well until I decided to create a separate partition for other personal files and I ended up corrupting the grub bootloader for my Kali partition, which ended up being a nightmare trying to repair. I was able to fix the grub bootloader and learned alot. My recommendations for anyone with less experience, first backup windows before trying this dual boot process. Second, I recommend doing this on an external hard drive and installing kali all by itself. It's been the best decision I've made. It basically makes it a portable OS that you can just plug in to any computer and boot it right up. There's a million ways to do this, but this was the best choice for me.

David is the Cyber Tech uncle everyone needs !!!! Thank you for your service

You are amazing how you can create concise and understandable content! I’ve been trying to do this for some time now. you made it so easy!

Fantastic video! I watched David over the last couple of years randomly. As an Applications Specialist who wants to move more in the cloud/Networking/Security space.

Thanks for this amazing video! If anyone gets an error stating that the disk is not available or is being used by other processes, you can try this: > show advanced format options > remove "quick format". Worked for me, had to wait an hour though.

I'm going to go ahead and just add this to my Home Lab Playlist really quick.

Thanku so much man i have been stuck in the select and install software for a long time and i have serach so many video but didn't get the result but by watching ur video i have successfully installed it

Thank you for the video, it worked perfectly. I learn a lot of stuff from you, we need more people like this

Brother thank you for all the information and knowledge you pass on to us. I'm new to all this I.T. world.

شكراااا اقسم بالله اكثر من ٢٠ مقطع في اليوتيوب بدون اي فائده ،، طلعت الفايده عندك 👍👍👍

This is an awesome video! Wish I had this available when I learned how to do it. Triple boot Windows, Kali, and Mint

Great video as always! I miss my XPS from my last job. I dual booted Windows and Pop Os on it

These particular errors were probably caused by Windows 11 virus protection app(it scans files while Rufus process it), as it treats some of Kali's standard packages as malicious and prevents Rufus from copying it to the USB. So then the installer can't find those files and throws out error message. I've done this recently and then retried creating the new volume with virus protection off and it worked fine with our any errors.

For everyone having problems finding the disks you just formatted for Kali, make sure to enable AHCI mode in your bios before installing Kali.

OMG!!! GREAT TIMING!!! I NEEDED THIS TODAY AND BOOM!!! WE HAVE A VIDEO ABOUT DUAL BOOT!!!!!!! Thanks David..❤🔥

Thank you very much for the instructions David, it is always good to refresh the memory.

I was used to do this with my old laptop having two different SSD's, but that laptop broke a few months ago and bought a new one with only 1 M2 SSD, so I splitter this SSD in two partitions and that's it! Just make sure you set Kali Linux as main boot on the bios as this one contains grub.

Great job boss❤

Thanks man, ive struggling with the install of kali . Now its installed .thanks you

Thank you very much I have a not so good laptop with no dedicated gpu running windows 11 so it was an idea I had to use a less bloated os and it works better then windows does thank you for helping me your instructions were very clear!

Great content David ! By the way, is there any kind of hypervisor as light as ESXi , but that could show on the screen at least 2 VMs like Windows and Kali on a 10 year old laptop screen ? Something like a "light proxmox" ? That would be awesome, wouldn't it ?

a great explanation as always. Can you make a Dual Boot MacOS and Windows ? Thank you

Tat was awesome.. David unchecking the top 10 during installation n additional software made the day as I was getting struck there…

Absolutely a very informative instructional video my friend.

Here is some notes * Instead of installing kali using a Live boot USB/NVME would be better as Kali is insecure for install, this way you can just use the BIOS boot selector. * As a alternative would be to install normal Debian and install the tools on that install instead. * You can add secure boot to Linux so this is only needed for the install.

For anyone who's partition is not showing in the kali installation menu, Switch from RAID TO AHCI. Fore you do that, make sure you have a usb to reinstall windows after that. I think there's a workaround that lets you change it without reinstalling windows but Idk it maybe David can shed some light on it.

Thanks you very mach. This video was so useful and interesting. Wish you all the best and I will keep liking your videos.

Brooo you are the goat i tried your old video but that didn't work and this worked broo thank you

Thank you. But isn't there the danger of windows overwriting on an update so the dual boot does not work?

Quick tip from a IT expert. If you need a video to show you how to dualboot you should not use Kali.

I have enjoyed the video and installed kali in pc. Thanks man❤

It's not the first time that I imagine something and I need to learn it and the next couple days david posts it!

Easy, quick and effective. And thanks for the error solving trick.

You posted this vid way too late (for me at least), my PC is already dual booted but still a good and entertaining video to say the least! Keep it going man ❤

Thanks for this simplified explanation 🙏

This tutorial is awesome and reliable, thanks! 🎉

thank you sir i am frusted from from a problem watching you it become solved thanks once again❤

Thank you man for these valuable videos

bro thank you so much I was about to buy a rasbery pi 4 just to put kali linux in. Left you a sub and a like

Great explanation, worked perfectly! thanks...

You’re the best prof, Thank you so much

Perfect video exactly what i was looking for 👌🏻

Informative video... thank you Sir 😊

This is fantastic, thank you!

i got the red screen before that stage, but got passed it just by retrying, nice guide

You made my day happy 😁

I have a dedicated hard drive for installing Linux. I learned a long time ago to always make sure Linux will be installed on my second hard drive and grub will be installed on my windows drive :)

Superb helpful video, thanks very much ✨👌

very detailed video! I'm newbie to Windows and 0 knowledge in Linux

Thanks a lot sir this video really helped me.

Very Informative. Thanks

Nice..Info at Right Time

Hey David ,I've been trying to find some recent videos of you talking bout ccna specifically in this year,but couldn't find. I've heard there's some changes in the exam itself ,are you maybe going to make a video touching that topic again ? would be appreciated for us who are willing to go back ,are the same books valid ,courses etc,or is there something entirely new ,you know ,just the good old informative video on CCNA in 2023/4 Btw I'm enjoying your podcasts with different people ,especially cybersec stuff,so much fun and so much to learn,keep it up ! thanks for all the effort you put into your content !

thanks but I cant shrink more than 6.5 giga... I have about 400 gb free!!! why and how to solve please

For many machines, particularly Lenovo laptops, you also have to switch from UEFI to Legacy in the BIOS or the screen will be garbled when attempting to install. Drove me bonkers!

I usually make a custom image with the kali install scripts so I get just the things I use. For me most of the time I am just doing CTF stuff and bug bounty stuff so for example I don't really need the forensics stuff like sleuth kit. I'm betting some of your viewers would like to see how that works. Maybe they just want to build a Kali forensics lab or something like that.

Hey David. Thank you for the cool video. One question for you. A lot of people learn from but how do you learn? Where did you learn it? 😊 Thank you

Finally ❤️🔥🔥🔥 Thank you so much sir 🌷

I really like the way you do cyber stuff.

😊 can't wait to try this.

For people not getting the boot option choice after installation, each laptop should have a key for you to choose which operating system to boot from. for example for my msi laptop my key to select what OS to boot from is F11, from there I can go to kali or windows. Hope this helps

thank you bro i love this video

heads up make sure you have your bitlocker key handy or suspend bitlocker on your drive ahead of time in case you need to reboot into windows

I would have liked to see you talk alittle more about the advantages of dual boot as well as some ideas on how to transfer file between the too (from Kali to windows or the other way around) but other then that I need to try this at home

if you use Etcher instead of Rufus, then there will be no issues with any checked software for Kali. (In my case, of course... At the beginning had the same problem )

Thanks for this video.

David you are Amazing in IT field

Simple and easy ❤

Hi David, Big fan here! Love your videos- as always they always hit the mark. 🎯 Just got a quick question: is there a smooth way to make a remote machine dual-boot into Windows and Kali Linux? Every time I reboot to switch OS, I lose my remote connection from my Windows 10 machine. Would love to have your insights. Cheers 🙂

Thanks for the video, is the process the same if you want the graphical install of Kali?

I don't understand why so many people do this, you can directly go into Boot Menu and do a one-time boot from a different drive without even going into BIOS and changing the Boot order. On my laptop it's F1 for BIOS & F10 for Boot Menu. I also done this to multiple users since I'm the tech of the family, and every singe Laptop/PC I used has a specified F-key to boot directly into Boot Menu for one-time boot from a different drive. EDIT: For ASUS laptops the key combination to boot directly to the Boot Menu is ESC + Power Button.

Hello David, simple and easy to understand. Can you tell me what good will this do to me in terms of my daily basic uses with windows 11? Are there any benefits which windows Cannot provide?

At the end of the video you did not mention if there is any need to change back the bios to its original settings? is there anyneed?

Thanks David. I had the same issue with the installer. I will give it a try. Is using Kali for day to day work as an OS not advisable?

Hi. I wish you Happy New Year from Romania

Great video, Can you use the internal wifi adapter when using Kali

welcome back - "hand on practice"

Thanks for video. If you choose DD mode in rufus instead of ISO, you wont face that error in kali install

Thanks you for helping 🙂

Hi David.. should be re-enable secure boot in BIOS and how doing it and not doing it will affect the system hardware, software and security of the computer. I followed your steps and dual booted, it worked fine. I just had to use mini tool partition wizard to shrink my partition volume to make space.

This is what I wanted....!!!!

Thanks for the tutorial David, i've successfully install Linux on my laptop. But one thing is bothering me is there is no audio/sound coming out, do you maybe know how to fix this?

Thank you soo much.🙏🙏 Could you also make the same Dual boot process for Mac m1?

I have installed Kali Linux from your channel, and I would like to set up a dual-boot configuration with my Windows 11

Great, boss ❤

I also done this on dell Inspiron laptop but if i enabling "Secure Boot" then grub boot loader is not starting instead it is directly boot win 11. Please resolve this issue. But when dual boot win 11 & ubuntu then after enable secure boot it doesn't affect any more on the grub boot loader. I mean after enable secure boot (ubuntu and win 11) are working fine but (win 11 & Kali) not

can you make a video on how we can customize kali live iso? I'm having hard time with dolphin config, setting another wallpaper as default.

What is the difference between between this and use it in virtual machine?

Awesome! Thank you, david! I did this a few years ago to a clunker laptop i keep in my office, but really couldnt remember how. Really needed a concise refresher, like this. About disabling secure boot, though; doesnt that make you vulnerable to kernel level malware? Doesnt secure boot verify (pre-boot) that none of the startup files have been tampered and that signatures and certificates match? (Something like that; i got my sec+ a few months ago and recall reading something like that). Also, is disabling secure boot gonna have an effect (a negative one) on the TPM, which stores and generates various crypto keys and signatures? Thanks so much, again, for this video! 👍🥂💯

Hi David! Thanks for the video! Quick question, why Kali and 9 months later do you still recommend Kali or do you recommend we use a different version of Linux? Cheers!

Thank you sir 🎉

Thank you for teaching

Thanks mate 🎉

Please help me. During kali installation under the "configure network" window my wifi adaptor is not detecting and my laptop haven't any ethernet port. What should i do?😢

Thank you sir .

Can you show how to boot to Kali Linux using a VHDX file instead of a separate partition
