Windows 10: How to install 1 of 2 win 7 installs on the same computer

Hello all,I have an older computer with a SATA drive and an old PATA drive. Each drive has a Windows 7 system on it. When I boot up the machine, it defaults to loading the system on the PATA drive and not the one on the SATA drive because the PATA system is a newer installation. I added the PATA drive for data and need to format it.I do not want the PATA drive system loaded at boot. I want the computer to default to loading the Win 7 system on the SATA drive.How can I change the machine to boot from the SATA drive and not the PATA?The machine is old and the BIOS is old. There is no option in t

:)

 

Wipe and install Win 7

Confusing.
I assume you mean "not happy" instead of "beyond happy".

At the very least you'll need:

1. A legitimate W7 install disk and Product Key
2. KB976932 Service Pack 1
3. Driver install files
4. KB3020369 Prerequisite for KB3125574
5. KB3125574 W7 SP1 Update Rollup (Windows will be updated to April 2016)

Then follow this tutorial:

Once you have successfully installed W7, the updates listed above and the drivers, install a program like Macrium Reflect and create at least 2 Backup System Images (on different external HDDs).

Once you have created the Backup System Images, you can risk downloading the remaining updates for W7.
I only install the Security-Only updates (and some fixes for them):



Note:
You'll also need to apply IE and .NET updates separately.
