    Win 10 and Win 7 dual boot possible with only Win 10 installed to start?


    Plan is to put them both on separate SSDs. All the tutorials I have seen assume you are starting with Windows 7 on the machine and installing Windows 10. I assume I won't have any issues, but if I do, could I take the Win 10 SSD out, install Win 7 on the new SSD, put both drives back in and have a dual boot option? Thanks for any advice you can provide.

    Win 10 boots...

    I can't answer to the speed of Win-8 booting. I tried the Win-8 preview and went back to Win-7 after a month. They say that Win-8.1 is a lot better than Win-8 was.
    My Win-10 TP is working well ATM.

    Win.10 won't boot after installing Win.7

    Hi,

    So i installed Win.10 via the UEFI and after installing Win.7 on Legacy Mode onto a different HDD i can't boot into Win.10 (I believe can only because Win.10 was installed via UEFI)

    I tried installing the BCD Software but nope. I even tried to select my HDD but say Winload.exe error

    Even tried going into the USB and try repairing but the same thing happens
