¶ Introduction
Our Endless Installer for Windows allows you to install Endless OS alongside Windows. This means that you won’t have to remove your existing Windows operating system, nor any of your software. After you have downloaded and installed Endless OS, just restart your computer and select “Endless”.
¶ Requirements
Before installation, please check whether your computer is compatible with Endless OS.
If your Windows storage is encrypted, e.g. with "Device Encryption" and/or BitLocker (the default since at least Windows 10 Pro), you must decrypt your storage to dual-boot with Endless OS.
