    I already have Kubuntu 14.10 installed. Can I install another 14.10 with Plasma 5?

    I have permanently removed Windows 7 from my Desktop PC. I have an empty and available 128GB SSD that I would like to install Kubuntu 14.10 with Plasma 5 as an alternative. Is it possible to dual-boot two of the same Operating system, one with plasma 4, the other with plasma 5? Thanks!

    Yes, of course.

    As long as you install each OS in it's own partition you can have as many copies of the same or different OS's as you want (disk space allowing, of course). Just be certain of which partition you are installing into (partition labels can help avoid confusion). To set a partition label just choose the Properties of the newly created partition and change the label to something appropriate.
    Desktop PC: Intel Core-i5-4670 3.40Ghz, 16Gb Crucial ram, Asus H97-Plus MB, 128Gb Crucial SSD + 2Tb Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 HDD running Kubuntu 18.04 LTS and Kubuntu 14.04 LTS (on SSD).
