I think I have enough information now. I’ve decided to go forward. I’ll set three PCs aside. One will be the FOG server, one will be set up to create the gold master for dual boot. The third will be a guinea pig.
I’ll fool around with this little cluster until I think I understand what’s going on and then set it free.

How does that sound?

Thanks for the timely replies. This seems like a responsive and committed forum. That’s reassuring for a noob.

I want to clarify your answers.

1. It would be difficult to create a single image that would allow multiple machines to dual boot.
2. It would be easier to create separate Linux and Windows images and select one for loading from a server.

Another question that I need answered is how FOG handles Windows licensing or software licensing in general. Do you need an organization wide license? Does FOG keep track of licenses and provide them to individual machines?

Lurking behind most simple “yes’s” is a very complicated “but”. I have never used FOG. I have no experience with windows, a fair bit with Linux. Is setting up dual boot so far out of the norm that I shouldn’t try it starting with so little experience?

I manage about 20 PCs in a maker space. I would like to be able to boot them to either Windows or Linux from clean images. Can I do that with FOG?
