  1. Windows 10 and Windows 7 dual booting


    Hi,

    I am currently running Windows 7 and Windows 10 on dual boot on SSD drive that has 2 partitions.

    I need to fix Windows 7 or reinstall windows 7 completely but ideally i want to somehow install windows 7 over windows 7 partition without losing any programs etc. I have made a backup of Windows 7 personal files. Can this be achieved without breaks Windows 10 dual boot?

    Another thing is i have issue over Windows 10 with this weird pixels showing in middle of the screen due to this reason I want to install Windows 10 again after i have installed Windows 7 successfully.

    Is reset pc button enough to have fresh copy of Windows 10 or do you prefer installation via .iso of Windows 10?

    :)

    Dual Boot Change from Windows 8.1 & 7 to Windows 10 & 7

    I have a dual boot Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.

    (1) Is it possible to have a triple boot Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7?

    (2) If not, can I just upgrade the Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 to have a dual boot Windows 10 and Windows 7? Or do I have to do the normal dual boot set-up?

  3. How do I restore dual boot capability after Windows 10 clean install removed it

    My computer was dual-boot with Windows 7 boot partitions on two separate drives. After upgrading to Windows 10, the dual boot provision worked fine. However after a clean install of Windows 10, dual-boot capability is no longer available. The boot partition
    for the remaining Windows 7 syBistem is intact. Only the dual boot option is gone.

    I tried the changing the default operating system under System Properties/Advanced/Startup and Recovery, but the only choice is Windows 10. Windows 7 isn't a option. I'm guessing that the clean Windows 10 install wiped out access to the dual-boot menu.

    Thanks.

    Bill

    Windows 10 and Windows 7 dual booting

    For Windows 7: Is it still running? If so, a Repair Install of windows 7 will do the job.

    For Windows 10: Yes, the Reset PC will be enough. *Smile
