Yes, you can make your pc dual boot. Many guides are out there. Elementary linux is probably what you are looking for.

    This has got to be the most "Linux user" answer. Q:"How can I...?" A:"yes you can, rtfm". Have my upvote.

    You make it sound like rtfm is a bad thing, while it helps to learn and understand.

    But sure, it makes absolute sense to write the instructions here again! In full. I can do it so much better than the rest, and it keeps this post readable.

    (I'll take a pass on your upvote)

    Don't be so touchy, I just made a (to me) funny observation.

    Also, instead of posting everything "here again, in full", you could at least have given a link to one of the many guides you referred to. Or you could have not posted at all, since your answer supplied the OP with no additional information.
