    Master Boot Record

    If I knew what steps to take to resolve this issue I would take them and not have to ask Microsoft for assistance.

    I have one hard drive that has always been partitioned so that I have been running 2 instances of windows 7.

    One my wife uses and the other is for my use.

    When I turned on my pc a boot menu came up so I could choose

    Windows 7 Trev or

    Windows 7 Jane...

    It has been this way for years and has always worked even though I have periodically re-installed either one or the other or both.

    The Master Boot Record has always worked fine with no problems..

    I have burned my copy of windows 10 to a dvd after first upgrading one of the windows 7 operating systems to get the licence key.

    Then after formatting the partition I did a clean install of windows 10 on one partition and a clean windows 7 install on the other partition.

    The master Boot Record is there. It says

    Windows 10 Jane And

    Windows 7 Trev.

    So I can boot into the one I choose. However whenever I boot into windows 10 then after doing what I want to do on it and switch off my pc or reboot it. Then it boots straight into windows 10 so I quickly press the re-set button on my tower and after the
    post screen the boot screen returns and I can choose to boot into windows 7 but before it boots into windows 7 it wants to run a full disk check which can take hours unless I press a key to make it skip the check but it always comes up whenever I want to boot
    into windows 7 until I have let it do the check and NO it never finds any problems with the disk.

    This only happens when I have used windows 10.

    I cannot elaborate any more than this and you obviously have not read my initial post or you would not have asked question 3.
