If you have plenty of ram, so that you can run 2 operating systems + other applications at the same time, you can use a VM virtual machine to boot the Tails, which is a linux operating system. Personally I don't use VMs, as I prefer various other methods to boot a different OS. The Tails site makes some provisions for 'installing' to Win 8 or 10, but not 7. If you want to be running W7 and not reboot, you would need to use a VM, and Tails gives instructions for that. https://tails.net/doc/advanced_topics/virtualization/index.en.html I just dl'd the current Tails to a Ventoy'd SSD and tried to boot it, but it failed; I may have to make some special Ventoy arrangements for Tails as I have for Puppy and EasyOS. In the meantime, if I were going to boot it, I would choose the USB route, which is more reliable. -- Mike Easter
