Windows 10 Boot Menu Question
I installed Windows 10 on Drive D with the plan to replace my Windows 7 installation on Drive C once I get all my programs fully installed and configured on the new Windows 10 install.
I'm nearly there now, but I still need to keep the old Windows 7 install as a bootable OS for a little while because I am still having problems copying data over with programs like iTunes. So I still need to boot with Windows 7 at times for a little while longer.
Meanwhile, Windows 7 is running on a faster SSD drive and Windows 10 is running on a regular WD 4TB blue series 3.5" HDD.
So for the interim, until I can fully dump Windows 7, I would like to move Windows 7 over to the 4TB HDD and put the new Windows 10 install onto the faster SSD drive. Should be no problem to create drive images of each Windows install with Acronis and then move them.
As it is now, a boot menu was created by Windows 10 (when I installed Windows 10) that I use each time to choose which OS that I want to boot with.
My question, is if I swap the installs on the Drive C and Drive D drives, is it going to confuse Windows and cause boot problems or possibly even a crash?
Or can I just go ahead and swap the installs on the 2 drives without causing any Windows problems?
Thanks in advance for any wisdom you might kindly share with me.
