   If you have plenty of ram, so that you can run 2 operating systems +   
   other applications at the same time, you can use a VM virtual machine to   
   boot the Tails, which is a linux operating system.   
      
   Personally I don't use VMs, as I prefer various other methods to boot a   
   different OS.   
      
   The Tails site makes some provisions for 'installing' to Win 8 or 10,   
   but not 7.  If you want to be running W7 and not reboot, you would need   
   to use a VM, and Tails gives instructions for that.

   I just dl'd the current Tails to a Ventoy'd SSD and tried to boot it,   
   but it failed; I may have to make some special Ventoy arrangements for   
   Tails as I have for Puppy and EasyOS. In the meantime, if I were going   
   to boot it, I would choose the USB route, which is more reliable.
