Windows 10: Assist me with re-installing two EFIs to Win-10 + Win-11

Hi,I had a need to increase my Windows 10 secondary partition OS to a bigger disk size but the Windows 11 primary partition OS would not permit me to resize. Next I created a backup recovery image from inside Windows 10. I went into Windows 11 and formatted Windows 10 while keeping the Windows 10 backup recovery image on Windows 11 directory. I used "DISM" to mount, convert, and apply the backup recovery image onto the blank formatted Windows 10 partition and this was successful. I also reformatted Index 2 EFI by coping and pasted the newly formatted EFI-linked-Windows 10 files. I saw the boot

Win.10 won't boot after installing Win.7

Hi,

So i installed Win.10 via the UEFI and after installing Win.7 on Legacy Mode onto a different HDD i can't boot into Win.10 (I believe can only because Win.10 was installed via UEFI)

I tried installing the BCD Software but nope. I even tried to select my HDD but say Winload.exe error

Even tried going into the USB and try repairing but the same thing happens

 

Stop Win 10 install

Hi Bryon,

Thank you for using Windows 10.

• Let us know are you referring to Update list when you say "Win 10 mailing list"?

Meanwhile, I suggest you to Run the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool which fixes the Windows corruption error if there are any. Follow the steps:

• 
  Press Windows+X.
  
• 
  Click on Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type the command DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  and hit Enter.
  

Hope it helps. Let us know if you need further assistance and we'll be glad to assist you further.

 

Fresh Install of Win 10 without Serial Key?

Looking to reformat a laptops HDD, and then reinstall Win 10 fresh. The problem is it came pre-installed with Win 8 and I did the free upgrade to Win 10. How exactly would I re-format the HDD, reinstall Win 10 and ensure it reactivates properly? I don't see a Win 8 serial key anywhere in the contents of the box.
