You might want to look at running Windows in a VM (virtual machine)
instead of dual booting.  You'd want to run the version of Windows you
want to play games on as the host operating system, and the other version
as the guest operating system.  This means you can test things on both
operating systems much quicker because you don't need to reboot.
