After installing my 7 pro os when I enter the key I get msg that key is valid for upgrade only and not accepted.

Hi I have an existing win 7 install and have attempted to install win 10 on a separate physical disk. I was hoping to dual boot both os's but I do not receive the option. Instead the system takes me to win 10 by default. I'm assuming the boot loader has been changed. Any ideas how I can get back into win 7 once more? Thanks
