    Dual Booting


    Hi,
    I've decided that I would like to dual boot Windows 10 TP (I know im late to the game)


    Now ive done dual booting before, but I was wondering if its any different, as my system has change to include a SSD which just has windows 7 and a HDD with my files.

    If I just partition my HDD to a smaller size and install windows 10 on the other half of that partition will that work and not affect windows 7

    :)

    Always booting from the wrong drive

    Drive K is not a boot drive.

    If dual booting Windows located on the drive K: it will be changed to C:

    You have to do the dual boot from the BIOS.

    Check post from Andre da Costa on Dual booting.

    This was in fact a dual boot problem. All VM is dual boot.

    Except for me having Windows 8.1.1 instead of Windows 7 that's exactly how I have my computer setup. If you do go dual boot some users recommend hiding the OS drives from each other. I'll see if I can find the post.
