It's possible that doing a Win 7 repair restore also destroys the ability for Win 10 repair to see the Win 10 backups, but I haven't tested this using dual WindowsImageBackup.xxx directories.

I can confirm this now. I renamed WindowsImageBackup to WindowsImageBackup.W7, created a WindowsImageBackup.W10, moved the W10 backups to that folder and then renamed it to WindowsImageBackup. Win 10...

Yet another issue occurred when I restored a prior instance of a Win 7 image before I installed Win 10. This restored the C: boot partition to it's pre Win 10 state, and in this case there's no...

I had the impression that the W10 images were still visible to both W7 and W10 repair disks until I did a W7 restore, and that it was running W7 repair that caused the W10 images to become unlisted,...

WIn 7 image backup is working for both Win 7 and Win 10, so at least I have something that works.

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out.

Each backup I do is to a different hard drive. In...

I rarely use the internet when running XP, so security isn't an issue. I also have backups to internal and external drives just in case. I use XP for old games and old utilities (mostly video...

I have a multi-boot system, XP Pro (32 bit), XP Pro X64 (64 bit), Win 7 Pro (64 bit), Win 10 Pro (64 bit). Each OS is on a separate hard drive and partition. The C: partition is boot only (no...

This is an old thread, but I just now determined a way to accomplish this. I had purchased a second copy of Win 7 Pro (originally was going to use this on the next system I buy), and it seems having...

Thanks for the help, but I want to have both Win 7 and Win 10 installed and activated (separate partitions on separate drives), so to comply with Microsoft's rules, I'll have to buy Windows 10.

Office would go into a separate partition. The swap file in yet another partition (on a different drive). I turn off hibernate mode so that hiberfil.sys doesn't take up space (that one can't be...

Currently I have XP Pro 32-bit, XP X64, and Win 7 Pro 64 bit installed on my system. Each OS is installed on a separate hard drive. The system has 4 hard drives (and 5 partitions per drive) and I've...
