    Dual OS option


    I installed win 10 on a new drive and I have win 7 on another drive, I don't see any other OS except win 10 when i go to system properties. In bios, the boot priority is the drive with win 10 first, then the drive with win 7 That's how I want it... But what I want to do is when win 10 loads, I want the option to choose OS without going into bios everytime.

    :)

    Hi David,

    I appreciate you for providing details about the issue and we are happy to help you.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the OS to default and check if it helps:

    • Press Windows + R keys from the Keyboard.
    • Type msconfig and hit Enter.
    • Click on the Boot tab.
    • Select the OS from the list and click on the Set as default.
    Reference: Refer to the following Wiki article created by J W Stuart on

    Dual Booting with Windows 8.1


    The procedure below will allow you to boot Windows separately or in dual boot configuration.
    Here's what I recommend to do:
    1. Disconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    2. Install Windows 10 with one drive connected.
    3. After step 2, reconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    4. Boot up Windows 8.1. Open disk management and take a note of the drive letter of Windows 10 OS.
      NOTE: if you boot up Windows 10, then take a note of Windows 8.1 drive letter
    5. Open Admin command prompt and type: bcdboot X:\windows where X: is the drive letter of Windows 10 (Windows 8.1 if you boot from Windows 10 in step 4)
    6. Reboot the PC. You should have a dual boot screen.

    NOTE: To break off the dual boot setting, Win+R->msconfig->boot and delete the none default entry on the list.
