Windows 10: Boot windows 7 after Win10 install

So like a dispshit I did not read the dual boot directions because I really did not expect it to be this big of bitch to dual boot.. So how do I boot into windows 7 if I did not do the dual boot instructions?

:)

 

I would like to install that windows 7 for a dual boot with Win10 on an empty drive

Original Title: Dual boot, Win10 with Win 7

I have installed windows 10 some months ago, i have my older copy of original windows 7 on DVD, i would like to install that windows 7 for a dual boot with Win10 on an empty drive. Is this possible and how to start with it?

I had read that you can not install older versions when you have newer versions of Windows during a dual boot.

 

In Startup & Recovery "default operating system" shows "Windows 7", even though PC upgraded to Win10

No: I created the recover disk using the Create Recovery Disk option in settings on my Win10 computer. I booted from that USB.

The "Windows 7" boot record that I included above (bootloader) is from C: - not the recovery disk, the primary boot partition.

The reference to "Default Operating System: Windows 7" is from the System Properties|Advanced|Startup and recovery in settings ON MY WINDOWS 10 PC, booted normally from the C:

It appears to me that the reference to Windows 7 is coming from the boot record on this upgraded Win10 PC.

I think you are recommending I download the Win10 ISO and do a clean install? Everything is setup on this PC as I want it and has been for a long time since the upgrade months ago. I don't want a clean
install.

 

Peter You need to try start up repair. This tutorial shows how to get to it. You can also use it to boot win 7 https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2...dows-10-a.html

 

I tried all that it, seems like 10051 does not see me other OS and does not give the option to choose another OS. Gonna revert back to 10049..
