Can I partition my hard drive and run various versions of windows on different ones?

Just got a new to me windows 10 laptop. Its a HP Workpro and seems very fast and it works great with my internet connection. I have a few programs on my old ACER windows 7 laptop that are not transferring to the HP. This happened years ago when I couldn't transfer some XP programs to the ACER...including some printers that would never work on the new computer.

It occurred to me that I could create a couple of partitions to my 500 GB hard drive and run the different windows versions on each allowing me to use my old printers and the various programs using the fast HP laptop.

Any advice would be welcome.
I'm not completely up to speed on the windows 10 system....where should I look to get to where I can manage my disc if i want to try the partitioning idea?

Israel vs. Hamas by the numbers.

Herzog last night on PBS Newshour said they had killed 7000 Hamas terrorists.

21,000 (14,000 Women and children) have died in Gaza so far.

Herzog says there are 30,000 Hamas terrorists to go.

I guess we should prepare to learn of 60,000 more women and children being killed in Gaza before Israel is satisfied it has achieved revenge and it's victory of defending Israel.

Just got my change of premium notice from Rx plan provider for 2024.

They are dropping my premium from $8.60/mo. to $.50/mo. Wellcare.


Thank you Joe Biden for finally going after big pharma and getting drug prices down.

Anybody else getting a reduction?

Old News: My Pillow guy loses $5 million.

In case you were distracted by the indictments last May and missed this one....I found this interesting break down of why we haven't heard much from Mike Lindell lately.

Just this to put a pardon by Gov. Kemp to rest.

From the NYTimes today:

"There is one final important advantage of the Georgia case. It is shielded from what may be Mr. Trump’s ultimate hope: the issuance of a pardon should he or another Republican be elected president in 2024 (or a command by a Republican that the Justice Department simply drop the case). A president’s power to pardon federal offenses does not extend to state crimes.

And pardons in Georgia are not an unreviewable power vested solely in the chief executive. They are awarded by the State Board of Pardons and Paroles — and are not even available until five years after completion of all sentences."

Did anyone listen to RW Radio on Tuesday, May 23?

I spent the day in the doctor's waiting while they cut up my wife's face chasing skin cancer. Two other old white guys were also there and out of the blue they started talking about things they heard...I'm assuming....on the radio. This is Massachusetts:

1. Over twenty eight whales have died at the site of the new windmill foundations going in south of Cape Cod.

2. Immigrants are being housed in Hotel rooms with the $150/night charged to "us taxpayers." They are getting $45/day for food.
Also all the medical care they need for free etc. You've heard it for sure.

Is there anything new in this area of discourse? I didn't reply and they did not go on for long but the one said he had heard the
stories also. I'm guessing Howie Carr, but maybe some national hate monger working to replace Rush Limpballs?
