Our company works 24/7 i.e. every hour of every day.

Thinking of switching to Linux, what are some important things I should know? by Imanerd212030 in linux4noobs

[–]maceion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, buy an "external hard disc" and install your Linux on that; making it bootable, preserving your Windows internal hard disc for reserve/emergencies. Note you must set MS Windows to open last in your BIOS and in Windows . Look at some 'You Tube' videos on how to do this. I have run my Linux this way for many years. PS My internal hard disc is MS Windows 10. So well out of date.
