Asked By RandomGadget77 On

I'm looking to set up my machine to triple or quad-boot different versions of Windows for maximum compatibility. I've seen some Linux guides on this, but I want to do everything natively without relying on virtualization software like VirtualBox. I want to know how to configure GRUB to boot into these various Windows installs all on one drive.

That sounds like a fun project! Just a heads up, if you’re going for Windows 11, 10, 7, and XP all together, make sure you're aware of the challenges with legacy systems. XP can be tricky, but it's definitely a cool challenge to have all those versions running on one machine!

It's definitely possible to set this up! Just be sure to install all the Windows versions you want to use before configuring GRUB. If you have a Linux installation, make sure the `GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER` option in `/etc/default/grub` is set to false. Then, run `os-prober` and `update-grub`, and you should be good to go! But if you don’t have a Linux OS installed, you might want to consider using the Windows Boot Manager instead.
