  1. Have Windows 10 want to add Windows 7 in dual boot


    I have a Windows 10 computer, but want to create a dual boot with Windows 7 so I can play some of my older games that won't run in10. I've tried compatibility mode but didn't help. I know that 10 has some idiosyncrasies I will need to work around so looking for info. I have my copy of Windows 7.

    windows 10 slow boot

    I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

    I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

    In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.
