    Dual Boot Win 7 pro and Win 10


    I have new computer win 7 pro with all SSD. I plan to Install Win 10 onto a separate SSD (Samsung 500gb) and will just unplug my C Drive SSD with Win 7. The C drive SSD is also 500gb Samsung but only 152gb left on that drive. Any Comments / potential problems I may have.

    I have registered and will get a win 10 download 7/29 I hear but would rather burn a installation CD with that if possible or I could use a Flash Disk. Then Install Win 10 as above from the installation CD.

    Is this actually a Dual Boot if it is two separate SSD's*Confused Also, I have dual booted Win with Linux but never with two versions of win. So, another question in Program files and Data in Win 7 I have many application that I use nearly daily. If I install win 10 as above will I.win 10 be able to access apps in win 7 program files. IE FedEx ship manager, Quick Books etc?

    :)

  2. Dual boot with win 10 upgrade using win 10 pro license?

    I understand the the win 10 upgrade is an overwrite of the existing OS (which is win 7 sp2 for me). Can I buy the win 10 pro license as an upgrade to the win 10 upgrade? then download the upgrade and create a dual boot with the existing win 7? What is the
    procedure for dual boot?

    thank you,

    win 7 home sp2

  3. Dual Boot Elimination

    Hi,

    I have a dual boot setup at this time, Partition #1 WIN 7 PRO, Partition #2 WIN 10 PRO "Activated" this was my TP beta partition, it was upgraded by MS. Is this WIN 10 PRO the same OS that I am being offered on partition #1 to replace WIN 7 PRO?

    Now that the TP has ended I would like to do a WIN 10 PRO clean install and remove one of the Partitions to eliminate the Dual boot system. Should I do the upgrade to WIN 7 PRO then delete Partition #2 with the already activated WIN 10 PRO or could this
    be a problem in the making ?

    Thank You for the Help...Jim
