    Have Windows 10 want to add Windows 7 in dual boot


    I have a Windows 10 computer, but want to create a dual boot with Windows 7 so I can play some of my older games that won't run in10. I've tried compatibility mode but didn't help. I know that 10 has some idiosyncrasies I will need to work around so looking for info. I have my copy of Windows 7.

    I'm looking to do the reverse - dual boot 7 with 10 already installed.

    Are you putting W7 on the same drive as W10 ?

    If not than unplug all/any other drives except the drive you are installing W7 on.
