Abstract
A computing device includes a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium coupled to the processor that includes instructions, that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to manage a transition between a first operating system and a second operating system. The instructions cause the processor to instantiate a copy-on-write virtual computing system executing a first operating system, delete a second operating system from the non-transitory computer readable storage medium or the memory, copy the first operating system to the non-transitory computer readable storage medium. The instructions can further cause the processor to instantiate the first operating system on the computing device.
