dual boot ?

[Bob]

is an older computer so it only has room for one drive, hopefully getting 
a new larger drive to fit the slot.
   person using computer is not likely to be able to use a virtual drive 
want to keep it simple for them.

thanks for the confirmation of what I suspected was the route to follow.

thanks
Bob
