    Dual Boot Win 7 onto Win 10 host?


    I recently purchased a Win 10 laptop with an ssd, and would like to ALSO run Win 7 on it. What is the best wayto have BOTH bootable: ("Dual Boot"? "Bootable virtual drive"? (what's the difference between them??)).
    Then: where can I find the Best, Detailed, (Simple?) instructions to accomplish this?
    Also: Is there a way that both installed OS's can SHARE a single program-installation (+data) ?
    IS any/all of this possible? Where can I GO to find out how?

    :)

    Win 10 boots...

    I can't answer to the speed of Win-8 booting. I tried the Win-8 preview and went back to Win-7 after a month. They say that Win-8.1 is a lot better than Win-8 was.
    My Win-10 TP is working well ATM.

    Dual-boot Win10/7 or go back to Win 7

    This^^

    I only use, or recommend, dual boot if a new/separate HD is out of the question. Way less hassle and potential problems.
