That's a bit beyond my level! I need as idiot proof as possible. Currently I image the 60GB W7 OS drive (see disk Management screenshot in post #7) & if anything goes wrong I can restore that image...
Oh yeah, I was semi-aware of that. I've been using AOMEI to create images but.....knock on wood....I've never had to RESTORE an image. It's a scary thought of restoring an image to a drive and the...
Yeah that's what I suspected. I'm considering creating a much smaller partition (60 GB or so) for just the W10 OS (with just DATA on the rest) so I can regularly create a (smaller) image backup of it...
I wasn't trying to "upgrade" from W7 - rather, adding W10 to the existing system & be able to dual boot - so when I installed W10 that was the only drive connected (LD 1 Samsung SSD) then I...
I see. reagentc / info shows: "Windows RE status: Disabled" on my system. I don't think I disabled it since installation.

This is key. FWIW I just installed W10 on a new SSD (using MBR) expecting it would create 4 partitions as shown in one those links but it ended up having no partitions (I intended to use the entire...
W7 was already on 1st SSD, then W10 installed on 2nd SSD (w/ only that SSD connected) with W7 SSD 1st in boot order in BIOS. I prefer to keep W7 as default OS - which I set it as IN W10. Currently...
I found mentioned elsewhere that an HDMI cable (that I FORGOT to disconnect when installed W10) could cause system to "think" there were 2 monitors so I disconnected it & booted into W10 & sure...
I'll try those suggestions tomorrow. I had W7 installed on one drive & intended to have W10 on a separate SSD but in addition to the above problem trying to get it to dual boot it's screwed W7 boot...
Just installed W10 and ANYTHING I click on puts an icon on the taskbar BUT won't maximize so I can do anything. This seems utterly rudimentary but I can't figure it out. If I mouse over the icons in...
