If you want to run multiple operating systems on one machine, or multiple copies of the same operating system, then you only have two ways to do it: dual boot or virtual machine. Both methods are useful, but they serve different purposes.

Normally, 100 percent of your hardware is dedicated to running the operating system on your computer. But when you use a virtual machine, you're running a second operating system within your primary operating system. This means your hardware splits between the two operating systems.

On older computers and laptops, dual booting is really your only option. When you dual boot, you can switch between operating systems and dedicate all your hardware to one at a time. The more powerful your hardware, the more viable a virtual machine becomes. In that case, a virtual machine is usually preferable.
