Windows 10: Can't boot into 2 separate installs of windows 10

Hi,

I have 2 versions of windows on separate hard disks

I rebooted last night for a windows update on my pro installation

IT goes through the motions but when it would usually bring the login page it then gives me the system error collecting information smiley

I can't get passed this and windows system repair can't fix it/doesn't give me any options of what we can fix



So I tried booting up my other installation (selecting from the bios, this isn't configured as a dual boot)

The windows logo with the spinning circle appears, it then goes to a black screen with a spinning circle and won't get passed this



I'm guessing a hardware error of some sort but seems strange it occurred trying to run a disk repair after windows update and happens on both disks (neither of which the system tried to repair, it was repairing a USB drive)



I'm a bit stuck with this. Are there any newer alternatives to hirens boot CD or what would you suggest I try next

What is the best way to set up a dual boot of Windows 7 and 10 after a fresh install of Windows 10

Windows 7 and 10 hate each other, I had dual boot W7/10 and they just want to repair each other all the time which ends up screwing the install and then refuses to boot. You have to install W7 first I think then Windows 10, you cant do it the other way around. This was on 2 separate HDDs

 

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
