Hello everyone, right now I have a gaming computer I built myself with an SSD with Windows 10 on it and a larger storage drive to keep my games, music, etc. I want to try out different operating systems, so I am wanting to get a whole new hard drive and install three operating systems on it. Then hopefully quad-boot these four OSes. I am wanting to get, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, and Solaris. Would this be possible? And if so, how excactly would I do it? Thanks!
Solution
It saves it.
Install the VirtualBox application.
Create a VirtualDrive (it leads you through the process)
Install an OS to that VHD.
When you want to run it, just click Start in the VirtualBox application.
It is just like having a whole other PC, with its own OS. Just encapsulated in a single file on the host OS.

Can you? Sure.
A better option to "try out different operating systems" might be to install them in VirtualMachines.
Your Windows OS as the host, VirtualBox, and each OS runs in its own VM.

If you really want to boot four, then you might need seperate disks. Partitioning one is going to be a pain for four OSs.
