I am one of 3 blind AT instructor's at our rehab center. We each
currently
have one desktop PC running Windows 7. We primarily do Jaws training but
also offer Window Eyes and Zoomtext training. We're wanting to upgrade
to
Windows 8, while also continuing to train on Windows 7 as needed; but do
not have the money nor space for an additional PC. We're exploring our
options and considering either partitioning the hard drive in order to
run
both OS's; or, running the second OS inside a virtual machine on the same
PC. We're just not sure which would be the simplest and most accessible;
keeping in mind that we may need to switch back and forth between OS's
for
each class. Any tips or guidance would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
