  2. 1st time system builder seeks advice re: Dual Booting Windows 10 and 7

    On UEFI based board, Windows 7 by default will install in legacy mode, while Windows 10 default UEFI, so, there is no need to make any modifications to install either. For convenience, install Windows 7 first, the Windows 10.

    See information about dual booting:

  3. Can I install Windows 7 Pro as a second operating system

    As long as you have a license for it that is not in use, yes.

    Then follow this tutorial: (installing in uEFI mode.)

    Windows 10 Install UEFI and Windows 7 Dual boot Question

    Right click on start icon, select Command Prompt (Admin). In the command prompt window run:

    BCDBOOT E:\Windows /d /addlast

    The path in red is to the Windows folder of your Windows 7 installation. You'll have to do it for each Windows 7 partition you want to add. Then restart the computer.

    You can press the Windows + R keys to open a run dialog. Enter: msconfig

    Select the boot tab and you can adjust the timeout of the boot menu.
