I was on win 7: I have now somehow upgraded it to win 10 tp with win 7 rollback. I can not find how to create a sys iso in win 10.
can I roll back to win 7 and start again with duel boot as I had before?.
win 7 on original drive and win 10 on the other internal drive?.
I have two internal 500gb drives and 1 usb 500gb with my win 7 system ISO on it.
Silly me Topper.
AFAIK you cant create back up syst image media in W 10 preview at this time . I had to re install (custom) from ISO Installer bootable DVD . My win 7 parition remained un disturbed . IOW don't depend on W10 for back up/restore/repair if it blows up just be prepared to (clean ) re install .
Restore/repair /refresh /recovery wouldn't work right
at that time (last wk. ).
I have (most of my applications and media )on a Win 7 drive partition on the same hdd and have shortcuts (in W10) to the
compatable stuff that otherwise didn't require being installed in the W10 parition or drive .
I would put W7 on one of the internal drives and W10 on the other hdd (or a hdd partitcian) and use the usb drive for back up or storage .
I can run a lot of stuff
from the W7 partition in W10 with desktop shortcuts I copied to W10 you have to try each app you want to (run from win 7 and use in win 10 ) and see if it runs like that first ,media no problems with VLC for video or Foobar 2000 installed on the 10 partition or you can use the embedded WMP for both .
So far W10 is running fine . I'm using it for the daily driver now but have W7 intact also just in case (for now )
My Installed win 10 applications and data are backed up on a storage drive keeping in mind W10 Technical Preview is a late beta despite what they call it ☺/
I store any media I get now in the W7 library's as before and run it from there in Win 10.
I made a 100GB partition on a 1TB win 7 hdd to install/ run W10 it's more than adequate (with some extra room ) and just as fast *the way I'm using it* ofc can always re size the partitions on the fly if the need arises When Win 10 final comes out each OS will have their own hdd with 10 likely being on an SSD and both ofc accessing metal storage drives . ☺
Just use the W10 installation media and point a
custom install to wherever W10 was/is before.
it will format /overwrite and
clean install the previous W10 installation and enable the boot loader /splash screen if it see's another installed OS drive (or drive partition ) on that PC .
