How to Dual Boot Windows 7 and Windows 10

How to Dual Boot Windows 7 and Windows 10

Before you begin I recommend you do a full backup of your data.

If you are looking to dual boot Windows 10 with Windows 7 already installed, then this video is for you. You can create this dual-boot system from pretty much any version of Windows I am going to show you how easy it is to dual boot both these operating systems, you will get a menu where you can choose to boot into Windows 7 or Windows 10.

We will need to make sure we have a partition or another hard drive for our dual boot to work correctly. You can create a new partition on your hard drive using the Windows Disk Management Utility, this is easy to do in by shrinking the volume .

I love the rolling cube logo. Also I've seen similar videos showing the same steps but yours is much more professional.

MATE I LOVE YOU!!! I wanted to keep windows 7 for my older much loved games but needed windows 10 for work and I was at a very sad low point in my life thinking I had to remove 7 😂 so thank you very much!

Fantastico ! Even at this late stage ''April 2020'', Ive been forced to look at a solution to keeping my beloved W7 but needing W10 for new programs. Thank goodness I found your Video ! Thank You !

I can't explain it in words that how much it helped me Bri, You are doing a great job, keep it up.

Excellent video, thank you Britec. As the deadline approaches for the end of Windows 7 support I need to get my butt in gear with this, and there's no way I want to lose my loved Windows 7 OS!
EDIT: After creating a new partition for Windows 10, I noticed that it was a Logical Partition, not a Primary Partition. I used the program by EaseUS called Partition Master Free to change this

Since posting my comment I can answer yes to my own question. I now have a dual boot Windows 7 and 10 system. Thanks again for the video upload.

My issue is, I have win 7 on one drive and 10 on another drive, how do I have the option to choose win 10 or 7 without going into bios everytime.

[sheldonfingerman]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for posting this excellent tutorial.

Please consider, Brian, a video showing how to dual boot, where the C:\ is on the PC as Windows 10, and Windows 7 is on an external drive. Thanks for all your great tutorials, Jan.
