Windows 10: Preview Booted Fine, Win7 Upgrade Boots w/ Quirks

Since Build 10041 I have ran the preview as a dual boot alongside Windows 7 Ultimate. The preview (and for the last week or so final build) start up rapidly, no problems. I waited to upgrade the 7 partition until after the activation servers weren't under an insanely heavy load. Upgrade went without a hitch I am now running Windows 10 Pro. BUT! It boots almost as slow as 7 does, not nearly as fast as the preview did on the same hardware (or as fast as my super weak hp pavilion e010us laptop) and I notice it still makes 7's startup tone before loading the Windows 10 logon screen. How can i repair/erase and rewrite the boot part of the hdd to drop the garbage from 7??

Dual Boot Upgrade Q: Win7 and Win10 Preview

I currently have a dual boot with Win7 Pro and Win10 Preview. Now, as I understand, to keep both win7 and Win10, I need to purchase a new license for Win10 as the separate partition installation is not eligible for free upgrade program.

So, I'm planning to upgrade my Win7 itself. Does anyone try this? I'm not sure how it is going to work after the upgrade? Am I going to have Win10 (New, Release version) and Win10 Preview?

If thats the case, how can I remove the Win10 preview installation? It doesnt make any sense to have the Preview version if I have the Release version on the other boot

Thanks in advance..

 

WIN10 /WIN7 Dual boot, WIN7 forced to upgrade to win10, now I can only boot to Primary WIN10 drive

I have a WIN10 install on a 256 SSD (DRIVE 2)

and had a win7 install on a 1tb WD Black HD (DRIVE 5)

My primary boot was WIN10 (D2) and always had the option of picking wich drive to boot to on start up.

I was recently forced to upgrade my WIN7 (D5) to WIN 10. It completed the update and I was using the opperating system on my 1 tb HD and it was working fine. Then I shut off the computer and came back about 4 days later and I couldnt boot to my second
win10 install. (there may have been an update to the win10 before I shut it down)

I went into boot up options and selected the 2nd win10(win7) Drive 5 as primary boot and it reverted back to the original win 10(drive 2) boot.

What is the best way to have a dual boot win10 system and how can I change my boot up options so that I can continue to choose the boot up drive?

WIthout a doubt the upgrade Win7 drive is still there and can be used, but there must be a boot settings that is preventing it from being accessed.

If i am not allowed to have a dual boot WIN10/Win10 machine, can I revert back to WIN7 on the upgraded drive?

Also, original WIN10 install was from a win8 upgrade, 2nd one is from a win7 upgrade, both fully registered versions of WINdows.

Much apprecaited

 

I just decided to wipe the drive (including my storage partition) and do a fresh install, the quirks have disappeared and all is flawless again (except for Nvidia's drivers, and if they don't fix them soon they are gonna lose a lot of customers *Tongue)
