  1. Windows Dual Boot


    Hello,
    I wanted to upgrade my Windows 7 to Windows 10. This did not work at first so I set up a second drive and installed Windows 10 there. This worked fine. I then transferred all my files, etc... Then i wiped the Windows 7 Drive and used the EaseUS Partition Master Program to fuse the two drives. This worked fine as well but after a reboot, it shows Windows 7 as a boot option again. Is there a way to remove that? Why is it there in the first place, as i wiped the Drive with Windows 7 on it?


    Thanks in Advance,
    Cheers

    :)

    Dual Booting with Windows 8.1


    The procedure below will allow you to boot Windows separately or in dual boot configuration.
    Here's what I recommend to do:
    1. Disconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    2. Install Windows 10 with one drive connected.
    3. After step 2, reconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    4. Boot up Windows 8.1. Open disk management and take a note of the drive letter of Windows 10 OS.
      NOTE: if you boot up Windows 10, then take a note of Windows 8.1 drive letter
    5. Open Admin command prompt and type: bcdboot X:\windows where X: is the drive letter of Windows 10 (Windows 8.1 if you boot from Windows 10 in step 4)
    6. Reboot the PC. You should have a dual boot screen.

    NOTE: To break off the dual boot setting, Win+R->msconfig->boot and delete the none default entry on the list.
