Attempted 8.1/10 dual boot, only boots to 10
I followed the How To Geek's guide on how to dual boot - sort of. I was unable to shrink my Win 8.1 boot partition in disk manager- it kept telling me my disk didn't have enough free space, in spite of the fact that it should have had plenty.
Win 8.1 is installed on my SSD, I also have a HDD. When I couldn't make room for a new partition on the SSD, I shrank one of the partitions on my HDD and created some room for Win 10 Enterprise preview. I then put the Win 10 iso into a USB thumb drive with the Windows 7 utility mentioned in the HTG guide, and installed to the free space on my HDD.
Win 10 loads and runs, but all of my drives and partitions are renamed under Win 10. I can run programs off of my SSD, although Visual Studio tells me it is missing a dll and won't run. When I restart, there is no multi boot option from Windows. I downloaded easy BCD and tried to offer one, but the option doesn't work. I can still only boot into 10
