This was exactly what I was looking for.💎
And what is quite odd, is that usually I MUCH prefer commentary. But the text was done so well, and so full of *"just what was needed."* info.
That I found this easily as helpful. (If not more.)
Thank you for the video. 💎

1. Windows 10 for my little sister.
2. Windows 8.1 for my little brother.
3. Windows 7 for me.

Thank you so much! I have an art tablet that still works perfectly, but the manufacturer stopped updating the drivers for it, so it doesn't work at all in Windows 10. Following your guide means I don't have to buy an expensive new one and can just keep using my tablet in the older OS partition. You've saved me a lot of time, hassle, and money!

I'm attempting my inaugural dual boot installation. I'm curious whether I'll need to tinker with elements such as Linux grub to successfully set up the dual boot. Additionally, is activating Hyper-V or a similar component necessary for this process? Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

I keep getting this Error whenever i try to create a new symbol or extend my (D;) Drive
"The selected GPT formatted disk contains a partition which is not type 'PARTITION_BASIC_DATA_GUID', and is both proceeded and followed by a partition of type 'PARTITION_BASIC_DATA_GUID', "

i have 7 now, can i dual with 10 so that i can keep 7?

[jakexgold]

I did not install the 2 OS into dual boot mode, but installed them separately in 2 HDD and SSD, but no way I could boot up the Win7 even if I chose to boot up the OS in the selected HDD, I set it up in the BIOS CMOS to boot up the Win7, so I assumed the new hardware system always choose to boot up Windows 10 in the SSD for no matters which HDD I had chose to boot up the OS with !

[mikebreler]

If I do this with separate drives, can I use W7 on my internal boot drive and W10 on an external drive so it doesn't have to be powered on when not in use?
