  1. how to set-up a dual boot with W10/64 ?


    Hi,


    I had recent trouble with Outlook quick to run on an Asus gaming laptop running W10/64 Insider program/latest build


    I contacted M.S support and they couldn't help after Office repairt impossible to re-install!

    And MS specialists advised me to re-install windows.


    I decided to re-install W10 with a partition image created and stored a few months ago. And I installed this W10 partition image on a second disk SSD as well


    Bottom line; Now I boot on the second installation e.g the partition newly installed


    The striking thing is that nowhere I could see and acces a partition selector for a dual boot : creating a valid diual boot was my goal


    When I use a dedicated tool Acronis disk image I can see the 2 W10 partitions, and they both look valid. Can also be seen under Windows explorer


    My question: In that case, how to initiate a dual boot under W10? A partition selector has gone missing...

    Is is simply possible to do that, in the same way as it was easy to perform with W7 or 8 ?


    Many thanks for your help


    Philippe

    Upgrading possible ? Dual boot (XP-32 / W7-64) to (XP-32 / W10-64)

    Hi everybody,

    I have a dual boot PC with Windows XP (32 bits) and Windows 7 (64 bits), both installed on a 500 Go SSD.

    I have a 500 Go HDD for My documents, other data and games. Having two drives on a PC didn't cause any problem for upgrading W7 on another PC
    but there was no other OS.

    My 2nd PC is declared to be W10 compatible.

    The active partition is the one with XP. So the one with W7 is
    not active.

    My two questions :

    • Will the upgrade process be able to upgrade W7 even if it is not the active partition ?
    • Will XP and the dual boot persist ?
    Any experience with dual boot and W10 upgrading ?

    Dual Booting with Windows 8.1


    The procedure below will allow you to boot Windows separately or in dual boot configuration.
    Here's what I recommend to do:
    1. Disconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    2. Install Windows 10 with one drive connected.
    3. After step 2, reconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    4. Boot up Windows 8.1. Open disk management and take a note of the drive letter of Windows 10 OS.
      NOTE: if you boot up Windows 10, then take a note of Windows 8.1 drive letter
    5. Open Admin command prompt and type: bcdboot X:\windows where X: is the drive letter of Windows 10 (Windows 8.1 if you boot from Windows 10 in step 4)
    6. Reboot the PC. You should have a dual boot screen.

    NOTE: To break off the dual boot setting, Win+R->msconfig->boot and delete the none default entry on the list.

    how to set-up a dual boot with W10/64 ?

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
