    dualboot Windows 10 and Windows 7


    Hello. I want to dual-boot my laptop which has windows 10 po x64 version 1909 with windows 7. I already have windows 10 installed but i want windows 7 too. I saw some videos on youtube and some articles on the internet but i'm not very sure about this. I extracted an iso image of win 7 service pack 1 and ran the setup.exe file and it has gotten me to the point where i select the partitions (in my mind i was good). But will it install just simple as that?! I am most thinking about drivers. I prepared a partition for the windows 7 as i just saw on the internet. I posted an thred on sevenforums.com about this last night. Or if i can't will I be able to dual boot windows 8.1 then. My laptop is a dell vostro 3580 with uefi. I know it has some things like safeboot and legacy rom's. Im scared to do this.

    UPDATE: I went to my UEFI and when I activated the Legacy ROM's it said that my laptop is not compatible to boot Windows 7 or 8.1 so i'm going to use a virtual machine for this.
