Hi all

I need your help, I wanna try ZorionOS ultimate on my laptop. Today in my laptop i´ve a trple boot system with Windows 10, Kubuntu and Kali Linux.

I need your help to remove Kubuntu and install ZorinOS. Can you help me install Zorin without removing Windows and Kali? It need to be as smooth as possible. My linux skill are intermediate not an expert.

Thanks

Hi, run Zorin 12 in live mode and run GParted - see where Kubuntu is installed (i.e., which partition - useful hints will be the size of the partition - always worth making a note of this if it does not name Kubuntu in Gparted. The other key element will be which GRUB is booting all of these? Before you go any further, see if Windows 10 has a 'repair disc' function like 7 did and create that first before going any further. You may also want to download the Open Source backup CD - http://redobackup.org/ - note you need to backup the entire drive as this piece of software cannot do partitions - alternatively, use clonezilla (http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php) to clone your drive to an external one remembering to include the mbr! My personal preference is to use Neo Smart's Boot Manager - free for personal use but you have to register by email to get it - in use here:
