    Setting up dual boot with Windows 10


    I have a new SSD with 500gb with Windows 7 installed on it.

    I have an old SSD with 128GB, empty.


    I want to move the content of the bigger SSD to the smaller one (there's enough space) while maintaining the installation of Windows 7,

    and install an additional operating system (Windows 10) on the bigger drive.


    I then want to have the option to switch between the systems easily.

    Can you please advise on how should that process go?

    :)

    Dual Booting with Windows 8.1


    The procedure below will allow you to boot Windows separately or in dual boot configuration.
    Here's what I recommend to do:
    1. Disconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    2. Install Windows 10 with one drive connected.
    3. After step 2, reconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    4. Boot up Windows 8.1. Open disk management and take a note of the drive letter of Windows 10 OS.
      NOTE: if you boot up Windows 10, then take a note of Windows 8.1 drive letter
    5. Open Admin command prompt and type: bcdboot X:\windows where X: is the drive letter of Windows 10 (Windows 8.1 if you boot from Windows 10 in step 4)
    6. Reboot the PC. You should have a dual boot screen.

    NOTE: To break off the dual boot setting, Win+R->msconfig->boot and delete the none default entry on the list.
