    2 Windows 7 (dual boot) to 2 Windows 10 (dual boot): Is this possible?


    I have already checked that the process to upgrade my Win 7 Home Premium 32 bit laptop to the equivalent Win 10 runs smoothly keeping almost every application and all data perfect.

    The point is that I have a rather complex (for me) configuration in an HP system with two Win 7 Home Premium x64 running alternatively in a dual boot scheme, and I would like to keep the equivalent, migrating both systems to win 10 without a clean install, if possible. Both Windows are in the same SSD Disk (1 TB), with the typical System (100 MB), C (180 GB), D (120 GB) and other partitions. MBR and classical old BIOS. Hw is HP-350es. I'm not a Windows specialist, so some years ago a friend of mine helped me to build the dual boot system.

    I am reading that the combination of dual boot + W10 migration is quite complicated, so I would like to know what is the best path for doing it, if any.

    I have Norton Ghost backups for both systems and reserved partition.

    If needed, I could add a second disk or SSD if having one windows in every disk would ease the case. But I wouldn't know how to change the boot scheme, so I am waiting for your help.

    :)

    dual booting Windows and Linux

    I was wondering if theres a way when dual booting Windows 7 and Linux Mint, to have it boot Windows by default and possibly not show the GRUB menu, and if I press a certain key, have it boot linux instead?

    Is this even possible?
