    Dual boot question 7-10


    Hello,
    I thought it might be a good idea to make a dual boot system,so I can
    gradually tweak my system to upgrade to W10.
    But...


    Can I "tweak"all installed programs so they work under w10 and under w7?

    :)

    Windows 10/7 dual boot question - key


    hi guys
    I apologize if this is covered elsewhere, I could not find the exact answer to my question.

    Both my laptop and desktop have windows 7, different versions. Both have the upgrade ready for them.
    I want to dual boot win7 and 10 for a while, likely will fully transition down the road.

    My question relates to both PCs:
    Can I use my free upgrade to create the dual boot without needing a win 10 key I have to pay for?
    The dual boot tutorial suggests the need for a key, so just wanted to see what the answer was before I jump.

    thank you.

    Dual boot question 7-10

    Install Windows 7 dual boot on Windows 10 laptop with GPT partition

    Hi Krishna,

    Really appreciate your advice! But, unfortunately, neither of your suggestions re shutdown worked for me.

    In answer to your questions:

    • What is the make and model of the computer? - Lenovo B570
    • What are the troubleshooting steps that you have already performed? - all that I can find on the internet, eg stopping quick resume, powercfg, etc etc etc
    • What exactly happens when you try to shut down the laptop? - the power button light stays on, and the fan speed increases
    • How exactly are you trying to install Windows 7? - keep Windows 10, reinstall Windows 7 in a new partition for dual boot.

    Note: I only have 1 hard disk in my laptop.

    Thank you and any other expert will is willing to help out!
