How to Dual Boot Fedora Windows

Dual Booting Fedora and Windows
1. Go to the Fedora website and click on the 'Download Now' button to download Fedora. Open your CD writing software and follow the in-built instructions to create a CD using the image downloaded. This now becomes a Fedora boot disk.
2. Place the newly created CD into your CD drive and reboot the machine. If Windows loads up normally you need to change the BIOS boot order. Reboot again and early in the start up procedure a button will appear telling you to press something on the keyboard to enter the BIOS settings. Do this, and follow the menu to instruct the computer to boot from the CD drive.
3. Wait until you see the Fedora boot screen. It will automatically log you in after 60 seconds, but you can click on the 'Login' button to speed this up. Once you see the Fedora desktop environment, click on 'Install to Hard Drive' to begin installation.
4. Wait for a new screen to appear, and at the top in the drop-down list, select 'Shrink current system.' This will decrease the amount of space on the hard drive assigned to Windows and make room for Fedora to exist alongside. Click the 'Next' button.
5. Click on the drop-down menu to select a partition on your hard drive to resize. Then choose the size of the partition that will be created for Fedora. The minimum size this can be is 5GB. Select the size of the new partition, either by using the 'Up' arrow or by typing in the number. Click 'Shrink' when you are ready and then click 'Write changes to disk' to confirm.
6. Click 'Use free space' and then 'Next' to continue the process.
7. Wait for installation process to finish and then shut down the Fedora session by clicking 'System' and 'Shutdown.' Remove the Fedora CD from your disk drive and restart your computer, which will lead to a new screen. This is where you choose which system to boot. One will read 'Fedora,' and the other will read 'Other.' The other is where your original Windows remains. Your system is now dual booting Windows and Fedora.
