So I have a x220, it came with a hdd with only windows 7 installed on it. Last week, I backed up the hdd to an external drive, then tried to clone it windows 7 over to the ssd, with my usb y cable to sata cable, with my ssd plugged in, hdd still in computer. I partitioned the ssd for windows, cloned it over successfully, then installed the ssd, but windows wouldn't boot. I didn't feel like missing with windows so I reformatted my ssd to get rid of the partition, took out the hdd. and installed the ssd, put 16.04 on it, and works perfectly. Now, I would like to install windows 7 just in case I am ever going to need it, so that I could dual boot. I have no idea where to start... Can any one help me out? I am going to back up ubuntu now.

One option would be to run Windows in an Virtual Machine like Oracles VirtualBox. Which task would you do with windows? If you install linux first and windows afterswars, it will rewrite the boottable and you have to repair it. Therefore am VM would be the easiest way.
