Dual boot, exist win10 + win7 from image on different drives
I have win10 installed and running and I’d like to create a dual boot by restoring an image that I made of my old win7 system immediately before upgrade to win10 and then doing a clean install on a new SSD. I realize that I will need to buy a win7 key and I plan to use an OEM version that I will purchase from MicroCenter but before I do I’d like to know if I understand the process correctly.
1. Disconnect the SSD where win10 is installed and then restore the image of win 7 to the m2 SSD where it was originally installed, but do not boot from it yet. This now has H as a drive letter.
2. Reconnect the win10 SSD and let it boot up and then open a commend prompt (admin) and enter:
3. Bcdboot H:\Windows /d/addlast
4. Adjust the timeout with msconfig.
5. Update the license for the win7 using the new OEM key.
Do I have it right?
