Kali-Purple alongside Windows Installation

✅ Step 1: Downloading Kali Linux ISO

• Make sure to back up your important data before attempting any installation
• Visit the official Kali Linux website and scroll down
• Direct download link

✅ Step 2: Create a Bootable USB Drive (or DVD)

• To create a bootable USB drive, you can use software like Rufus or Etcher.
• Download and install the desired software.
• Connect a USB flash drive (at least 8GB in size) to your computer.
• Run Rufus or Etcher, select the Kali Linux ISO you downloaded, and choose the connected USB drive as the target.
• Start the process, and it will create a bootable USB drive with Kali Linux.

✅ Step 3: Allocate free space on your disk

Shrink your Windows virtual disk. A minimum of 25GB is required:

✅ Step 4: Boot from the Kali Linux USB Drive

• Insert the bootable USB drive into your computer's USB port
• Restart your computer and enter the BIOS or UEFI settings. The process for accessing BIOS/UEFI varies depending on your computer manufacturer. Usually, you can do this by pressing a key like Del, F2, F12, or Esc during boot
• In the BIOS/UEFI settings, change the boot order to prioritize the USB drive (or DVD drive if you're using a DVD) over the internal storage, or simply override the boot
• Save the changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI settings using F10

✅ Step 5: Start the Kali Linux Installation

• When your computer restarts, it should boot from the Kali Linux USB drive
• You'll be presented with the Kali Linux boot menu. Choose the Graphical Install option to start the installation process
• Select your preferred language, location, and keyboard layout, etc.

✅ Step 6: Partitioning and Disk Setup

• Select the disk that you have shrunk
• Select the first option: Guided - Use the largest continuous free space
• Review and confirm the partition changes

✅ Step 7: Install the System

• The installer will proceed to install Kali Linux onto the selected disk
• The installer will prompt you to install the GRUB boot loader. Confirm the installation on the same disk where Kali Linux is being installed

✅ Step 8: Complete the Installation

• Once the installation is complete, the installer will prompt you to remove the installation media (USB/DVD) and press 'Enter' to reboot the system
• Remove the USB drive or DVD and hit 'Enter' to restart
• After the system reboots, you'll be presented with GRUB loader

❗❗ Note: ❗❗

If you encounter any problems while at the stage Select and Install Software or Install the Base System, you should click on the Go Back button and try to install the GRUB loader first. After that, click on Go Back again and there should be no problem with installing the software
