As a feasiblity test for a neighbor, I set up a Windows 7 + Windows 10 dual boot machine with each OS on different HDD's, intending to switch using BIOS boot menu. When I restarted I got a chkdsk message about corrupt drives - all partitons including system reserved seemed to have a problem. I clicked several times to cancel the check and everything worked OK, but obviously this isn't ideal. ...

A few months ago I swapped out one of my drives for a new SSD and installed Windows 7 on it, installed all programs, configured everything, and gradually moved data over while still using the old one to get work done during the transition. I'm at the point I'd like to wipe out the old drive and just use it for data; however, my PC seems to need that one to boot. I tried removing the drive and...

I recently got a game that only run in a 64 bit system and my PC is running on Windows 7 ultimate (32 bit). In order to run the game, I want to make another partition and install 64 bits windows 7 ultimate. From what I understand, since my PC only has 2GB of RAM, it run faster on a 32bit system. So, I am planning to dual boot (32 bits and 64 bits). For general use, I will just launch the 32...

Hi, (tl;dr) Background. This all started with a fight on malware in W7 that I've lost. I realize that immunodeficiency of Windows is what we pay for convenience. Ability of malware to break out of vmware box was a nasty surprise, given that both guest and host are fully patched windows 7 with guest "protected" by ZoneAlarm av+fw and host "protected" by avast+windows firewall. Naive attempts to...

I apologize if the format of these questions is terrible, I'm better at putting parts together than I am fiddling with software. I currently run Win7-64 off of a 60gb SSD (which is almost full) and have been considering doing a fresh install. If I were to bother, I would have to burn a win7 ISO to a flash drive and boot from that as I cannot find my CD ( I did manage to use something from...

I have been wanting to do this for a while on my laptop (I have 2 ssd's) So I installed each OS to a seperate SSD and did it with the other SSD removed (during installation). Then I setup the windows 7 disk as the primary boot device. In order to use the windows 7 loader (I prefer it) I tried easybcd which did not boot windows 10. Then I stumbled upon grub2win. This actually worked....
