我们可以双启动Windows 10和Windows 11吗？我们可以！如果您需要同时使用这两种操作系统，双启动Windows 10和Windows 11会非常有用。(Windows 11)如果您想了解Windows 11的全部内容，但又不想放弃旧的Windows 10设置，这也是一个不错的选择。无论您的原因是什么，在本文中，我们都将指导您完成在双启动配置中安装Windows 10和Windows 11的步骤。(Windows 11)因此，如果您想了解有关如何在同一台计算机上双启动 Windows 11(boot Windows 11)和Windows 10的所有详细信息，请继续阅读：(Windows 10)
注意：(NOTE:)出于本教程的目的，我们将向您展示如何在您首次安装Windows 10和之后安装Windows 11时双(Windows 11)启动 Windows 10(boot Windows 10)和Windows 11(Windows 11)。但是，请记住，反过来也可以（先安装Windows 11 ，然后再安装Windows 10），步骤完全相同。
1.安装Windows 10
双启动Windows 10(Windows 10)和Windows 11的第一步是在您的 PC 上安装Windows 10 。如果您已经在运行Windows 10，请跳至本指南的下一步。否则，如果您有一台没有操作系统(operating system)的新计算机，或者您只是想从零开始以获得完全干净的体验，请首先安装Windows 10。我们在这个单独的教程中详细介绍了所有必要的步骤：如何从DVD、ISO或USB安装(USB)Windows 10。简而言之，您需要做的是创建一个Windows 10安装 U 盘或 DVD(installation USB memory stick or DVD) ，从它启动，然后按照Windows 10 安装向导(setup wizard)的说明进行操作。
安装 Windows 10
2.为Windows 11(Windows 11)准备一个分区
当您在计算机上启动并运行 Windows 10 后，您必须采取的下一步是使用Windows 11进行双重启动，即为后者准备一个分区。有两种方法可以做到这一点：
- 缩小Windows 10分区，如果包含它的驱动器足够大以容纳两个操作系统
- 确保您有另一个分区或驱动器(partition or drive)上有足够的可用空间，可用于在其上安装Windows 11(Windows 11)
让我们看看这两种方法是如何工作的：
2.1。缩小您的Windows 10分区
如果要使用安装了Windows 10的同一分区，则需要将其缩小以便有足够的空间为Windows 11创建新分区。如果您不知道该怎么做，本教程将详细解释所有内容：在Windows（所有版本）中调整分区大小的 2 种方法。但是，如果时间至关重要，以下是您应该采取的步骤的简要说明：
打开磁盘管理(Disk Management)- 右键单击开始(Start)按钮并从WinX 菜单中选择(WinX menu)磁盘管理(Disk Management)。然后，右键单击您的 Windows 10 分区并从上下文菜单中选择收缩卷。(Shrink Volume)
收缩卷(Shrink volume)减小了Windows 10分区的大小
在Shrink C: 对话框中(dialog box)，输入要将Windows 10分区缩小的兆字节数。确保为(Make)Windows 11选择足够大的值，这需要至少 64GB (65,536MB) 的可用空间。完成后，按收缩(Shrink)按钮。
指定缩小Windows 10分区的大小
缩小完成后，是时候为Windows 11创建一个新分区了。右键单击驱动器上的未分配(Unallocated)空间，然后从上下文菜单中选择新建简单卷。(New Simple Volume)
为Windows 11(Windows 11)创建新分区
按照向导的步骤进行操作，当您进入Format Partition设置时，请确保选择NTFS。
使用NTFS(NTFS)格式化Windows 11分区
提示：如需更多帮助，请阅读本指南：在(TIP:)Windows中创建分区的 2 种方法（所有版本）。
为Windows 11(Windows 11)创建分区后，请按照本指南第三章中的说明进行操作。
2.2. 在您的 PC 上选择另一个空驱动器或分区(drive or partition)
您可能希望在不同驱动器上以双启动方式安装Windows 10和Windows 11，或者您的 PC 上已经有一个要用于Windows 11的分区。在这种情况下，请确保您没有任何数据。如果这样做，请在安装Windows 11之前将要保留的文件移动到另一个存储单元(storage unit)，否则可能会丢失它们。然后，继续下一步：
3.安装Windows 11
现在是双启动Windows 10和Windows 11的基本步骤之一：实际安装Windows 11。如果您还没有Windows 11安装介质，请立即创建一个，并使用它来启动您的Windows 10计算机。有关如何执行此操作的说明，请按照本指南中的步骤操作：如何从USB、DVD或ISO安装(ISO)Windows 11。
使用Windows 11安装媒体启动 PC 后，像往常一样按照向导的步骤进行操作，直到出现“你想在哪里安装 Windows？” (“Where do you want to install Windows?”)题。当您到达那里时，请非常小心地选择您为Windows 11准备的分区，如本指南第二步中所述。然后，按下一步(Next)并继续安装Windows 11并根据需要进行配置。
选择 Windows 11 分区
4.双启动Windows 10和Windows 11
完成安装Windows 11后，您的计算机就可以进行双启动了。每当您启动或重新启动 PC 时，系统都会询问您要启动的操作系统：Windows 10 或Windows 11。
引导加载程序(boot loader)允许您双重引导 Windows 10(boot Windows 10)和Windows 11
恭喜！您现在正在双启动Windows 10和Windows 11！🙂
附加配置：如何设置双启动的默认操作系统(default operating system)（Windows 10 或Windows 11）
最后，您可能还想为双引导配置做一件事：选择默认操作系统，也许还有“选择操作系统”(“Choose an operating system”) 引导加载程序屏幕(boot loader screen)的超时时间。那是因为，在标准的 30 秒后，引导加载程序(boot loader)会自动启动默认操作系统。要根据需要设置这些，请打开系统配置(System Configuration)工具：搜索msconfig并按系统配置(System Configuration)结果。
打开系统配置
在“系统配置(System Configuration)”窗口中，选择“引导(Boot)”选项卡，您应该会看到Windows 10和Windows 11被列为双引导选项。单击(Click)或点击您想要的默认选项，如果它还不是默认选项(default choice)，请按设置为默认(Set as default)按钮。
设置默认操作系统
如果您想增加或减少引导加载程序的(boot loader)显示时间(display time)，请在右侧的Timeout字段中输入您喜欢的秒数。
选择引导加载程序的超时(boot loader)
按OK保存更改并关闭System Configuration。然后，重新启动计算机以查看您喜欢它们的方式。
为什么要双启动 Windows 10 和Windows 11？
现在您知道如何双启动 Windows 11(boot Windows 11)和Windows 10了。在您关闭此页面之前，请放纵我们的好奇心。你为什么想学习如何做到这一点？为什么您需要在同一台 PC 上安装两个操作系统？在下面的评论部分让我们知道您的原因以及一切是否正常。
How to dual boot Windows 10 and Windows 11 -
Can we dual-boot Windows 10 and Windows 11? Yes, we can! And dυal-booting Windows 10 and Windows 11 can be quite helpful if you need to work with both operatіng systems. It’s alѕo a good choice if you want to see what Windows 11 is all about, but you don’t want to let go of your old Windows 10 setup. Whatever your reasons are, in this article, we’re going to guide you through the stеps of installing Windows 10 аnd Windows 11 in a dual-boot configuration. So, if you want to know аll the details on how to dual boot Windows 11 with Windows 10 on the same сomputer, read on:
NOTE: For the purpose of this tutorial, we’re going to show you how to dual boot Windows 10 and Windows 11 when you first install Windows 10, and afterward, you install Windows 11. However, keep in mind that the other way around is also possible (install Windows 11 first and Windows 10 second), and the steps are exactly the same.
1. Install Windows 10
The first step to dual-boot Windows 10 and Windows 11 is to have Windows 10 installed on your PC. If you’re already running Windows 10, skip to the next step of this guide. Otherwise, if you have a new computer with no operating system on it or you simply want to start from zero for a completely clean experience, first install Windows 10. We’ve covered all the necessary steps in detail in this separate tutorial: How to install Windows 10 from DVD, ISO, or USB. In short, what you need to do is create a Windows 10 installation USB memory stick or DVD, boot from it, and follow the instructions of the Windows 10 setup wizard.
Installing Windows 10
2. Prepare a partition for Windows 11
When you have Windows 10 up and running on your computer, the next step you must take to dual boot with Windows 11 is to prepare a partition for the latter. There are two ways to do that:
- Shrink your Windows 10 partition, if the drive containing it is large enough to hold both operating systems
- Ensure that you have another partition or drive with enough free space on it, available to install Windows 11 on it
Let’s see how both methods work:
2.1. Shrink your Windows 10 partition
If you want to use the same partition on which Windows 10 is installed, you need to shrink it in order to have enough space to create a new partition for Windows 11. In case you don’t know how to do that, this tutorial explains everything in detail: 2 ways to resize a partition in Windows (all versions). However, if time is of the essence, here’s the condensed explanation of the steps you should take:
Open Disk Management - right-click on the Start button and select Disk Management from the WinX menu. Then, right-click on your Windows 10 partition and choose Shrink Volume from the contextual menu.
Shrink volume reduces the size of the Windows 10 partition
In the Shrink C: dialog box, enter the number of megabytes you want to shrink the Windows 10 partition by. Make sure that you choose a value that’s large enough for Windows 11, which requires at least 64GB (65,536MB) of free space. Once done, press the Shrink button.
Specifying the size to shrink the Windows 10 partition
After the shrinking is done, it’s time to create a new partition for Windows 11. Right-click on the Unallocated space on your drive and select New Simple Volume from the context menu.
Creating a new partition for Windows 11
Follow the wizard's steps and, when you get to the Format Partition settings, make sure you choose NTFS.
Format the Windows 11 partition using NTFS
TIP: For more help, read this guide: 2 ways to create a partition in Windows (all versions).
Once you’ve created the partition for Windows 11, follow the instructions from the third chapter of this guide.
2.2. Choose another empty drive or partition on your PC
You may want to install Windows 10 and Windows 11 in dual-boot on different drives, or you already have a partition on your PC that you want to use for Windows 11. In this case, make sure that you don’t have any data on it. If you do, move the files you want to keep to another storage unit before installing Windows 11 or you risk losing them. Then, move on to the next step:
3. Install Windows 11
Now comes one of the essential steps of dual-booting Windows 10 with Windows 11: actually installing Windows 11. If you don’t already have a Windows 11 installation media, create one now, and use it to boot your Windows 10 computer. For instructions on how to do that, follow the steps from this guide: How to install Windows 11 from USB, DVD, or ISO.
After you boot your PC using the Windows 11 installation media, follow the wizard’s steps like you normally would, right until you get to the “Where do you want to install Windows?” question. When you get there, be very careful to select the partition you’ve prepared for Windows 11, as explained in the second step of this guide. Then, press Next and continue installing Windows 11 and configuring it as you like.

4. Dual boot Windows 10 and Windows 11
Once you finish installing Windows 11, your computer is ready to dual-boot. Whenever you start or restart your PC, you’ll be asked what operating system you want to boot into: Windows 10 or Windows 11.

Congratulations! You’re now dual-booting Windows 10 and Windows 11! 🙂
Additional configuration: How to set the default operating system for dual boot (Windows 10 or Windows 11)
Finally, there’s one more thing you might want to do for your dual-boot configuration: choose the default operating system and, maybe, the timeout of the “Choose an operating system” boot loader screen. That is because, after the standard 30 seconds, the boot loader automatically starts the default operating system. To set these as you want, open the System Configuration tool: search for msconfig and press the System Configuration result.
Opening System Configuration
In the System Configuration window, select the Boot tab, and you should see Windows 10 and Windows 11 listed as dual-boot options. Click or tap the one you want as default and, if it’s not already the default choice, press the Set as default button.
Set the default operating system
If you want to increase or decrease the display time of the boot loader, enter the number of seconds you prefer in the Timeout field on the right.
Choose the timeout for the boot loader
Press OK to save your changes and close System Configuration. Then, reboot your computer to see how you like them.
