    WINDOWS 7 WONT DUAL BOOT WITH WINDOWS 10


    i recently purchased a laptop dell inspirion with pre-installed windows 10, however i was not quite happy with its performance and wanted to have dual boot with windows 7 , i bought the cd through a third party and installed it on a new partition. However when i choose windows setup from boot menu with windows 10 and an option called '''windows setup' which is windows 7 , it gives me a error that the bitlocker key couldnt be loaded correctly. Plz help.

    :)

    WINDOWS 7 WONT DUAL BOOT WITH WINDOWS 10

    windows 10 slow boot

    I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

    I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

    Looks to be similar to this: https://www.back2gaming.com/focus-story/ssd-optimization-for-windows-10-windows-8-and-8-1/


    In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.
