😂 😂
I guess there was just a bit of a misunderstanding😂😂

Nicholas Collins68 said:I haven't seen that anywhere... show me where you've got two operating systems running simultaneously on a single PC...🤷 (and I'm not talking about virtual machines, VMware, or anything like that)

Back when I was making the jump from 98 to Windows XP, the installer actually gave you the option, and when you booted up the machine, it would prompt you to choose which OS you wanted to boot into, which for me meant choosing between
Windows 98
Windows XP
You just click the one you want and it works perfectly fine... honestly, this was common practice for millions of people back when Vista rolled out and they installed it but decided to keep their old XP setup alongside it...

How could you even possibly know that... I mean, you’ve never actually run two systems side-by-side, nor have you seen it happen anywhere else, right...

Benjamin King2 said:We’re talking about beatmatching here, so I’m not really sure where you pulled "beat making" from... 😕

Whoops, my bad... I misread the whole thing right from the jump, and honestly, I guess things just got a bit muddled in my head... sorry.🙏

Nicholas Collins68 said:Well, if it can handle Vista without choking, then I guess there's no reason it shouldn't be able to run Windows 7 on that machine too...☕

Even if you run them separately, either way he’s going to see a performance hit because those two operating systems are just too heavy... whether that slowdown is subtle enough to ignore or a total system crawl really just comes down to whatever kind of rig he's running...

Benjamin King2 said:Everyone's talking about the beatmax...I suppose I should have seen this coming... just another day in the grind where nothing quite works the way it's supposed to...Look, you really ought to know how this works if you're going to hang around here... you've got your wires a little crossed on the terminology...

So, what you're actually trying to say is that every DJ is a beatmaker, and every beatmaker is a DJ, or is that really where we're headed with this...

Joseph Robinson53 said:Hey guys, I'm thinking about installing Windows 7, but I'd love to keep my current setup on its own partition... is it actually doable to run both and just have a boot menu pop up when I start the machine?

Sure, you can definitely do that, but honestly, I wouldn't recommend it if you're running anything less than a high-end rig... it's just going to be a headache...

Look, first thing you gotta realize is it really depends on whether you actually want to get into DJing or if you’re just trying to make beats, because in most cases, those two worlds don't even touch. You could spend your whole life behind a booth as a DJ without ever touching a drum machine, or you could be a producer who wouldn't know the first thing about mixing a set... If you actually want to step up and be a DJ, you're going to need a specific setup of gear. But if you just want to mess around a bit before you sit down to compose, just grab something like VirtualDJ and see how it feels; even some of the pros started out playing around with software like that, though they eventually hook it all up to a real mixer and decks and stuff like that...

And if you aren't actually looking to sell for her, would you ever consider letting go of the entire collection, and what kind of money are we even talking about here... I mean, what genre of music is it exactly?
