Hello

I am a new comer to Deepin OS, I would like to install it alongside with my current windows 7 64-Bit, but when I jump to some tutorials they claim that you need to install it in just the C drive ? how ? I want to install it in another partition !! is it possible ? plus the installation menu is different than Ubuntu, you can't create a swap area and organize installation ! also they talk about UEFI ? can I have some explication on it ! how to install Deepin alongside with windows !?

You can select other drive to install in simple mode, such as D drive. If you can not, please tell us the error massage.
And please tell me your hardware layout.

Yes, it is possible to dual boot with Deepin installed on a drive different than the C drive.
Please see this page: http://wiki.linuxdeepin.com/index.php?t ... all_Deepin
