How to Dual Boot Kali Linux and Windows (in 10 minutes)

Here's a Windows laptop which is very nice but you   know what's a lot nicer the  ability to reboot this laptop into Kali Linux so I've installed both Windows  and Kali Linux into this laptop and I can dual   boot between them so I can boot into Kali or  I could boot into Windows so once again what   I've done here is taken a Windows 11 laptop an  installed Kali Linux on the laptop and then I   have the ability to either boot into Kali or boot  into Windows. In this video I'm going to show you   how to do that I've got another laptop here and  I'll show you the full process same principle   applies if you're using a Windows 10 laptop  as an example very easy installation. Okay but   without further ado let me show you how to dual  boot between Windows 11 and Kali Linux. Okay so   here's my Windows 11 laptop that we're going to  set up for dual booting we need two pieces of   software we obviously need to download Kali Linux  so on the kali.org website I'm going to click on   download I'm going to go to the installer images  and I'm going to download the 64-bit installer   I've actually already downloaded did that in  preparation for this video you can see it's   about 3.8 gig in size but I'll click save just  to show you the full process next thing we need   to download is Rufus you may prefer using other  software but we basically need something to write   the iso image to a USB drive so I'll plug this  into my computer and what I'll do on the Rufus   website is download Rufus 4.2 for Windows 64-bit  you could use the portable version but I'm simply   going to use that version of software I'll double  click on the exe say yes to run it what it's done   is pick up my USB drive I've actually previously  installed Kali on this drive so that's why it's   showing up with Kali I then need to select my  ISO image so I'm going to select the image that   I previously downloaded what I'll do actually is  stop the current download because I've already   got it downloaded. Very simple you download  the ISO image for Kali you download Rufus or   some other software and then what you do is you  select your USB drive and you select the image.   We're told that we could either use an ISO image or  DD image I'm going to use ISO and then we warned   that everything will be overwritten on the USB  drive I'm okay with that so I'm going to press   OK and write the image to the drive you can  see the drive is being formatted and then the   image is being written. Okay so while that's  been done what I'm going to do in Windows is   right click on the Windows icon and then go  to Disk Management so here's my disk manager   at the moment I don't have any free space on my  hard drive because the Windows partition is taking   up all the free space what I'm going to do however  is right click on my Windows NTFS partition and I'm   going to click shrink volume now you don't need  that much space to run Kali and Linux in general   but what I'll do here is specify about 60 gig  that gives us plenty of space you could obviously   allocate much more space or perhaps as little as  25 gig more is generally better I am only going   to specify 60 gig here so I'm going to shrink the  Windows partition this is the amount remaining for   Windows and that's more than enough I'm going to  click shrink so there you go 58 gig in size now   you could obviously give a lot more space to Kali  especially if you're not doing a lot on Windows   but just for this demo I've got about 178 gig for  Windows and 58 for Kali I'll just show you this   if you want to allocate more here you could shrink  this volume again so what I could do as an example   is allocate another 10 gig and click shrink and  there you go 68 gig of space is now available we   just need to wait now for the writing to the USB  drive to complete and then I can show you what you   need to do to go into the BIOS of the computer now  there are two ways to do that you could power this   down using shift and I'll show you that method  in a moment otherwise you just need to reboot the   computer and then press the right control key this  depends on your laptop so this is an Asus laptop I   could just do a search for Asus BIOS key and we're  told you to enter the BIOS configuration on an   Asus laptop press and hold F2 while the computer  isn't powered on and then press on the power   button that depends on your laptop for instance  with this Dell laptop different key is used f8   if I remember correctly so you just need to find  out which key to use for your specific laptop or   you can do the following which I'm going to show  you in a moment either method works. Okay so the   writing to the USB drive has completed I'll click  close I'll close this and then what you can do   is press the shift button down click on power and  click restart okay so notice what happens we can   go to troubleshooting Advanced options and then we  can go to UEFI firmware settings or if you're old   like me the BIOS and click restart. Okay so there's  a few things that you need to do here first thing   we need to do is go to security so this really  does depend on your specific brand of laptop and   laptop but I'm going to select secure Boot and  you're going to want to disable secure boot make   sure that you have that disabled now as always  with these videos you do this kind of thing at   your own risk for this to work you're going to  want to disable secure boot so that's something   that you're just going to have to decide to take  the risk on but that isn't really a concern of   mine so I have disabled secure boot next thing we  want to do is we want to specify the order of boot   so I want to set the computer to boot off the USB  drive first so I'm going to set that up make sure   that you disable your secure boot set your boot  order to USB and then I'm going to say save and   exit and I'm going to say yes so hopefully what  should happen now is the laptop should reboot   and then boot off the USB drive okay so there you  go we can decide how to install Kali Linux either   using graphical installation or just a standard  installation for this example I'll just go with   the standard installation so no graphical  install graphically is nice in some ways but   I'll just use the standard installation okay  what language you're going to use I'm going   to use English which country are you in in  my example it's the United Kingdom so I'll   specify that which English you're going to use  British English okay so we need to connect to   the internet to download files so in my example  I've got to this laptop connected via a USB to the   Internet so using ethernet you could connect to  a Wi-Fi network if you like but I'm going to just   specify ethernet I'll press enter it's getting IP  addresses from DHCP next thing you need to do is   specify the host name so in my case I'll specify Kali domain name I'm going to specify as none now   again this is not best practice I'm just showing  you a demo I'm going to specify username of Kali   password is going to be Kali just like you get  when you download the pre-built VM again not   an example of good passwords but just to show  you the demo so I've put in my username I've put   in my password I've verified the password and now  it's going to start the partitioner now to keep it   simple I'm just going to use guided and I'm going  to use the largest continuous free space enter I'm going to install all files in a single  partition so keep it simple and I'm going to   say finish partitioning and write changes to disk  if you're happy with the changes that are listed   say yes it's now installing the base operating  system okay we now need to select the software   to install so you can just go with the defaults  I'm going to show you from I've had and a way   to solve that but I'm going to simply go with the  defaults and press continue notice this issue so   I've had that on a few of these installations so  I'm going to select and install the software again   and what I'm going to do to get this to  install is uncheck top 10 and uncheck default   I found that I had problems it might be something  with this image or something else that's causing   problems but if I unselect those two options and  then go continue the installation passes and then   I can just install all the software later once  this is installed successfully. Okay there you   go installation is complete so it's time to  boot into your new system make sure that you   remove the installation media so that you boot  into the new system rather than restarting the   installation choose continue to reboot so what  I'll do now is remove the USB drive and then   press enter to continue you can see the system  is rebooting now and there you go now we have   the option to boot into Kali or into Windows  it automatically boots into Kali and I can   log in so my username Kali password Kali and I've  successfully booted into Kali Linux on this laptop   now before I update the computer I just want  to show you that it works properly so I can   restart the Kali Linux installation and if  I press down arrow now I can select Windows   and as you can see there it's  starting to boot into Windows and there you go we've got a Windows  installation so I can log into Windows   so there's Windows 11 and once again I can simply  restart Windows and I'll be able to boot into Kali   Linux so in other words boot from one operating  system to another I've now got dual booting   working on this laptop I'll press enter to go  into Kali I'll show you a few more things in Kali   just to get your installation up to date you don't  have to do this you may want to get things updated   so I'll boot into Kali again and what I'll do  is start a terminal so I'll type sudo apt update   to update my references I'll put in my password now one of the things you may want to do is  upgrade your Kali Linux installation always   mentioned you may want to install the default  packages so what you could do is simply paste   that in here and that will allow you to install  the various tools that are missing again that's   not required depends what you want to install I  had issues during my installation process whereas   it didn't want to pass the installation when  I selected the default tools and top 10 tools   so this allows you to install those you probably  also want to upgrade your Kali Linux installation   so you may want to do that first before installing  the default packages I'm not going to bore you   showing you all those options now this is simply  going to install the software what you can see   is I have got various software tools installed  this will allow me to have more tools than what   I've got here and it's probably something that  most people want to do. Okay so there you go I've   shown you how to get Kali Linux running as a dual  boot with Windows 11. It's not that difficult to   process just be aware of secure boot you're  going to want to turn that off very important   to do that in the BIOS make sure that you've got  enough disk space to install Kali make sure that   you've got a USB drive you can download the image  and then install it from the USB drive.
