TheClock Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hello everyone,I'm currently trying if I can dual boot Windows 7 alongside Windows 10 on my Asus lapop. There hasn't been much info over the Web and thought on getting helpful answers here. 1. Should I dual-boot anyway?Only reason being that I prefer 7's UI better than 10, along with other factors (less surveillance, etc...). 2. Will dual-booting cause problems alongside Windows 10?Info here: http://www.pagestart.com/win8dbwin701181301.htmlThis should be the same, if not, similar to complete with 10. Are there any alternative ways to activate 7 on another partition? 3. How will UEFI affect Windows 7?Read: http://www.pagestart.com/win8dbwin701181301.htmlI only worry when selecting the OS when booting up that it won't return to the Windows 10 OS selection screen. Something like here should work with this setup, will it?http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/214167-windows-boot-manager-screen-change-listed-os-arrangement-order.html Thanks in advance.

NoelC Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Make SURE you disable Hybrid / Fast Bootup on the Win 10 system, or you WILL see what's interpreted as NTFS corruption. With the hybrid setup (Windows 10 default) it leaves the disk dirty when it shuts down. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I now need to buy another key for Windows 7 (maybe Ultimate) as I failed to realize that i don't have a (retail) key in the first place. The results may take some time, so I'll inform into how was the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
