    Upgrade to Windows 10 with a Dual boot Windows 7/Windows XP

    My current set-up is a dual boot with Windows 7 and Windows XP. This is because I use Windows XP to run some specific programs.

    When I boot up the computer, it gets to the point where it asks which operating system to use:

    • Windows 7
    • Windows XP
    If I upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10, will I still be able to start Windows 10 by clicking in the old Windows 7 link?

    Best regards,

    Windows 7 and Windows XP in dual boot loses Windows 7

    I have a machine which will dual boot into Windows 7 or Windows XP - this was working fine.

    However, the system board recently failed and I had to replace it - and now I find that although the dual boot menu still appears and it will boot into Windows XP ok from there, it won't boot into Windows 7.

    All I get is the "Windows 7 is starting..." message. which looks promising; but it then displays a black screen with the only sign of life being the mouse pointer - which is active, but I can't get the machine to do anything further.

    Any suggestions would be welcomed.
     
  4. I have windows xp and 7 dual boot and I want to upgrade 7 to 10

    XP and 7 to XP and 10 upgrade?

    I have a PC that currently is set to dual boot XP and Windows 7.

    Drive 1 has XP pro-32 bit

    Drive 2 has Win 7 Ultimate-64 bit

    Can I upgrade the WIn 7 to Windows 10? Or will it break the dual boot?

    I need XP for some legacy hardware and a few software pieces.
