Win 10 upgrade on a Win 7 and Win 8.1 multi boot system

I have a system that multi boots into win 7 or win 8.1. Why ? Well win 7 is 32 bit and win 8.1 is 64 bit and I was going to slowly set up the 8.1 system to mirror the programs on the 32 bit Win 7 install as there is no automatic 32 to 64 bit migration path.
Both have genuine Win 7 and Win 8.1 licences. I delayed the 8.1 upgrade as Win 10 was coming.

Can I upgrade the Win 8.1 install to win 10 and keep the multi boot options as Win 7 and Win 10 or will the win 10 upgrade kill the current multi boot configuration.

Any advice appreciated

 

Dual boot system

I am running win 7 and win 8.1. Can I upgrade win 8.1 to win 10 and keep win 7.

 

First, run winver either from the search box or "run" on start menu. What version of Windows does winver say you have?

What method are you trying to upgrade to Windows 10 with? I would suggest trying the "Upgrade this PC now" option of Windows 10 Media Creation Tool:
Windows 10

 

I totally agree with what is said above. "Upgrade this PC now" I did it, and it worked and my system Acer i5 5600U is really not having any problems so far. I still have it doing many nice things for me ... and I am enjoyed all so far, put I am about ready to upgrade two more win8.1 desktops here. Best to all who use it... Cliff M.
