Please get back to me with suggestions on how to go about it. I am aware that dual boot when Linux is the primary OS messes up the bootloader but I read it is fixable using linux live installation media.

Ideally I want to install windows 7 32bit and I am not sure if that's possible considering my current OS is 64bit. I am concerned about potential data loss start up times and I also think that if windows partitions need to be at the start of the drive,so far left in gparted where my boot efi partition is. That might be possible using a live linux medium. Tried to partition it using gparted but I think I need to unmount the /dev/sda2 first. Thought of making it a dual boot machine but it is a single hard drive split in three partition during the OS installation. So I tried virtual box but no matter what I don't have USB and shared folders on the guest machine. I just had delivered to me an OBDII pc device but there is no software to support it in Linux and you can use it of course and I intend to do so but I'm afraid I don't meet the requirements at the moment. Promised myself not to return to windows. I am new to the Ubuntu environment installed 64bit Xenial on an AMD laptop and eventually managed to have everything working as the machine was restricted to OSs.
