I've installed Ubuntu stand alone before installing windows 7 again. Im assuming it will be the same experience if I dual boot it?

Thanks, I'll look into them

>>61465782
Eh except if OP is also gaymer in which case dual booting is good for them.

>>61465857
exactly the case

>>61465825
No, you should install Windows first and Ubuntu after so that the installation identifies Windows and do the GRUB shit
If you install Windows last, it will erase the GRUB, making impossible to dual boot.

dual boot two Gentoo, fuck windows.
