How to configure Autounattend.xml to install Windows 11 to dual boot with Windows 8.1 #86

Currently I am running Windows 8.1 on a hard disk. I would like to install Windows 11 as the second O.S. in a dual boot set-up.

The hard disk partitions are as follows: Disk 0, partition 1 - 300MB, Recovery Disk 0, partition 2 - 100MB, EFI System Disk 0, partition 3 - 128MB, Reserved Disk 0, partition 4 - 540GB, Primary, NTFS (Windows 8.1 installed) Disk 0, partition 5 - 390GB, Primary, NTFS (formatted free space)

I think the following settings should be done: Select "Use a custom diskpart script to configure your disk(s):" Type "REM" in the box for the script Select "Install to another partition" Specify Disk 0 Specify Partition 5

Will this enable dual boot to function? Anything else needs to be done? Thank you for your time. Thank you for producing such a great tool!

The safer and easier option would be to use the Partition the disk interactively during Windows Setup setting.
