    Dual Boot no longer functional after new motherboard in place - Win10, Win7, and WinXP


    I have a PC in which I have just placed a new motherboard. The predecessor while functional had become out of date. The single SSD drive in it was partitioned and had three operating systems on it for some legacy equipment and/or software. Win10, Win7, and WinXP. These have been working fine for several years. The original board was an Intel DG33FB, the new is an Azrock B365M Pro4.When I installed the new motherboard, I did have boot problems different than what I'm currently inquiring about. However I was able to get the drive to boot after adjusting BIOS/UEFI settings. And I'm going to admit

    :)

    Win7 / Win10 dual boot only boots to Win10

    I have a home build machine with a dual partition for booting either Win7 or Win10 selectable.

    The order was Win7 followed by Win10 in the menu.

    The machine would always display a screen where I could select either Win7 or Win 10. If I didn't select in time the default was the first in the menu which was Win7

    Starting this evening the machine no longer displays the selection menu but instead boots immediately and directly to Win10.

    What's wrong?

    How can I fix this so it works the original way?
