the "hacking environment"?

Let me translate for you: I do not want to go through any additional steps to get to kali. I want kali up the moment my PC starts. How can I reformat my hard drive so that it supports a dual boot with my Windows 8.1? It is pretty confusing since I am new to this.

I both hate and respect this. Poor choice of words tho.

i know about the dual boot....... i just want to know that it is necessary to install kali linux or other operating system in other word can i use ms windows for practicing the hacks.....

yes you can, by using a virtual machin

As for DevanshDevansh, there are a few tutorials here on NB for downloading Kali to a USB drive.
