********************************Draft1 Dual Booting With MS Windows*************************
Puppy Linux can be installed to your existing internal drive that is running MS Windows (W95-W10) and no drive partitioning is required.
Boot Windows
-copy your Puppy ISO file to a folder on your Windows computer.
-download the installer program LICK-1.3.4-win32.exe from here https://github.com/noryb009/lick/releases/tag/v1.3.4
-copy LICK to the same folder as the Puppy ISO
-install LICK, (double click the file)
-follow the prompts to install Puppy
Here are notes from the LICK internet site https://github.com/noryb009/lick
Windows Version Notes
Windows 8, 8.1 and 10
Windows 8 and up have a feature called 'Fast Startup'. This cannot be enabled if LICK is installed. LICK disables Fast Startup upon installation.
UEFI Systems with Secure Boot
LICK supports secure boot, but requires a manual step during the first reboot.
On the first reboot, if you see a blue screen with writing, press enter to
select OK.
Press enter again to select Enroll Hash.
Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight loader.efi, and press enter.
Press the down arrow to select Yes, then press enter.
Use the down arrow to highlight Exit, then press enter.On subsequent reboots, these steps will not need to be taken.
We recommend disabling Secure Boot, read the topic Your First Boot or check the internet for help.
