    How to Dual Boot Multiple HDD's


    This seems no different than what I did in the first place. Will this be different because technically when I reinstall Windows 10 that Windows 7 was first going with the whole install old first and new last?

    The clean install will fix whatever file system corruption caused the problem. Disabling hibernation (and, therefore fast startup) before booting into Windows 7 will help ensure it continues to dual boot smoothly.

    In my opinion, keeping 7 and 10 totally separate is the best way to do it, and when you want to boot into the other drive, just use the one time boot menu to choose the other OS.

    Set your preferred OS as default in the Bios and it will always boot to that OS.

    Oh I know but I like having that menu pop up and ask me what OS to select.

    Thank you SO MUCH!

    Moral of the story here:

    If you want to dual boot...fresh install everything.
