    Can I add Win 7 (multi-boot) after Win 10 is on other partition?


    I upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 10. Now I would like to have a multi-boot. If I install Windows 7 on my blank 150 GB partition, will Windows 10's boot sequence recognize it so that I have a working multi-boot?

    :)

    Win 10 upgrade on a Win 7 and Win 8.1 multi boot system

    I have a system that multi boots into win 7 or win 8.1. Why ? Well win 7 is 32 bit and win 8.1 is 64 bit and I was going to slowly set up the 8.1 system to mirror the programs on the 32 bit Win 7 install as there is no automatic 32 to 64 bit migration path.
    Both have genuine Win 7 and Win 8.1 licences. I delayed the 8.1 upgrade as Win 10 was coming.

    Can I upgrade the Win 8.1 install to win 10 and keep the multi boot options as Win 7 and Win 10 or will the win 10 upgrade kill the current multi boot configuration.

    Any advice appreciated

  3. multi (x4) boot system Win 7 Pro (now), and add: Win 10 Pro, Fedora 26, Ubuntu 17.04

    If want a multi (x4) boot system Win 7 Pro (now), and add: Win 10 Pro, Fedora 26, Ubuntu 17.04... Can be?

    Will install in the sequence provided?

    Win 10 Pro live DVD can make partitions during installation process, and can also install a boot loader?

    Or better do the Win 10 Pro partition from Win 7 Pro?

    In this case I have to get Win 10 Pro OEM license.. ?

    I have free over 450GB/500GB on Win 7 Pro

    Can I add Win 7 (multi-boot) after Win 10 is on other partition?

    Hello edkugler, *Smile

    Only if you had another product key to activate Windows 7 with since Windows 10 is currently activated with your original key.

    If you try to activate both with the same key while both are installed, both will eventually be deactivated.
