jbm Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 after installing 10 to a separate hd it boots up and runs. But if I try booting 7 I get an error the digital sig of winload.efi can't be verified. anyone else tried dual booting? I was curious how it was with real hardware. thanks JBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 I reinstalled so that my computer booted in BIOS modeinstead of UEFI. Both 7 and 10 are runningNow to see what 10 offers.So far I think I'll keep 7 JBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorgeA Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yeah, it wasn't until I read somewhere that you had to turn off UEFI booting, that I was able to proceed with the TP installation. You can turn UEFI booting back on afterward, without problems, if that's important to you. --JorgeA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Thanks for your help.When I disabled UEFI boot windows 7 would not boot at all.Kept getting a message saying it wasn't configured correctly.so I ended up installing 7 again then 10 TP Don"t have a drive larger than 2TB so really no diff.

boyans Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 There are some benefits using UEFI boot.At least it is faster compared to BIOS boot (for Window 7 you have to disable Secure boot so it will not be safer).GPT style disks do not have the limitation of 4 primary partitions ! Most OS now support UEFI boot - for example Ubuntu if you want to try a Linux version (dual-boot with Windows). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
