I understand (Ithink) that if you have an WinXP machine and
then installWin7, it will optionally setup a dual boot with
the old WinXP.
But I have a Win7machine and want to dual boot using the old
WinXP HD from myold computer. I have read an article
saying it ispossible using something like EasyBCD? I've downloaded
the last freewareversion but I'm not clear about what to do next.

DISM Error: 0xc1420117 when trying to unmount and commit.
Good evening,
I have successfully integrated updates into the *install.wim*.
I then used the command:
*Dism /Unmount-WIM /MountDir:C:\Win7ISO\OFFLine /Commit*
It says: *Error: 0xc1420117*
The directory could not be completely unmounted.

Windows 7 or 10 on a new Intel CPU
Building a computer for my racing simulator.
I'm using this CPU: Intel Core i7-8700 Coffee Lake 6-Core 3.2 GHz (4.6 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series). It's not the "K" unlocked one.
I was looking at a different CPU before and it said Windows 10 only, cant find such info on the one I bought. It doesn't say anything so can I assume it's compatible with 7? It's a 8th gen CPU if that makes a...

force windows7 to ignore other drives & windows installations @ setup?
question's in the title
when installing win7 on a new physical drive, on a pc with other physical drives (and windows on one of those other physical drives) win7 always modifies the existing windows installation (and its boot files) and creates a menu pointing to the new win7 install

But I've moved to Win7 for x64 program specialties.
That aside, in my years of using Win7 there is no repair option for the operating system
