Windows 10: How to reinstall a dual boot cloned image

I am new here,
I was wondering if you can please help me with this issue.
I have basic skills.
Recently I created a dual boot system with win 7 and 10, on separate hard drives. Vertex 3 and Samsung 850.
I have created clones of each drive using acronis on separate hard drives, thinking if any problems I can re-clone the appropriate hard drive.
Yesterday I had a problem with win 10 and used the cloned image. Sadly, on boot up i get the blue screen saying press F8, F9 etc.
My question is how can I reload the win 10 cloned image and get standard options of either win 10 or win 7 at start up-like before.
I did not make a boot up disc-thinking there is no need.
I would be grateful if you point me towards a tutorial to resolve this please.
Many thanks-looking forward to some help.

How to Clone 'dual boot' Win7/Win10 HDD to new SSD

I have genuine Windows 7 (x64) system with CAD software and another dual boot Windows 10 (x32) with Office 365 apps. The Win7 drive is frustratingly slow so I want to clone to a SSD. I'm worried about the dual boot? Is there software out there that will
competently clone dual booting activated systems without a glitch? Currently I default to Win7 with the windows boot manager, and option into Windows 10 when needed. Any help or advice appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. please don't judge me. I would prefer just Win10 (x64) but this is how my legal licenses fell... lol. My CAD software doesn't work correctly under Windows 10, so I really need to keep it working and productive on Win7 (x64).

 

Dual boot Windows 10 and Windows 7 by cloning Windows 7 to new HDD

Old title: Dual boot Win 10 and Win 7

Have Win 10 on SSD C:\ and a failing HDD with Win 7 and some programs I don't want to lose. I have a new HDD to use to create a dual boot. Media for Win 7 is no longer available. How do I clone the failing disk into a bootable partition on the new HDD?

 

Looks like your boot manager was on the Windows 10 disk and now you cannot boot your computer. You have to use a bootable CD or USB with the Acronis utility so you can use it to restore the image of Windows 10 to the disk. If there is no image and you have a bootable Windows 10 clone, then make sure you set the Boot priority so the Windows 10 hard disk is before the Windows 7 hard disk on the list. In worst case, assuming your Windows 10 clone is OK you may need to boot from Windows 10 DVD or USB and repair startup.

 

Hi thank you for the reply.
I am confused-
in boot order both win 7 and 10 will boot up individually when i select the appropriate boot drive,
I loaded win 7 1st and than win 10-I think win 7 was the boot up drive.
Can you please help with step by step guide on what to do-i have acronis boot cd-but don't know to use it for dual boot up system.
I think I am not under standing a small point.

Hi
would it be possible to edit either win 7 or win 0 to show the boot up options-as both OP systems boot up individually.I just to create the options at start up.
