I cannot connect to onedrive in a hyper-v vm. I have tried a full uninstall using Revo, and a complete reinstall. I note the ondrive version has been upgraded to 7010 from 6999.

Updated to watermarked / expire dated 16296 today:



OneDrive application v17.25.1.0 runs as advertised in my VMWare Fusion VM-WIN10-16296u!

And now, let me add another drive mess to the mix:

I don't know what's happened . . . either Windows or I did something incredibly stupid! I'm guessing it was probably me, but can't be sure, since Windows 10 Pro was changed to Windows 10 Home. Wow!

I've been dual booting Windows 10 RTM with Windows 10 Insider since the beginning, but I no longer have the RTM version on this machine; in fact, the HDD holding Windows 10 Insider has been expanded to its full potential and there's no longer a partition for RTM.

It looks like I'm going to have to do a complete reinstall of both in order to straighten out this mess.

I know there's a tutorial to dual boot Win 7/8.x and 10, but is there one for booting from RTM to Insider? It's been so long since I set this machine up that I'm not too sure of what will work or not anymore.

BTW, I'm using a 500 GB HDD with Windows 10 (that used to be my dual boot drive) and an unused 240 GB HDD (it's not hooked up).

Did the RTM drive/partition get erased? This is really weird

No partitions erased/deleted here.

Been tossing it around for a few months to either do a dual boot or a Hyper-V VM. Am going to wait until the FCU comes out to decide, but the easy BCD looks pretty good. (I checked out the web page). Just want a split for Insiders and the other for a stable build like a CU.

I never messed with the Hyper stuff - I like each OS on it's own SSD - my choice for my machine.

You don't need EasyBcd to set up dual booting with just CU and an Insider. CU should be the first and only thing on there, then just carve out a 64GB partition after it when you install and Windows will do the rest. I know, I've oversimplified it. But it really isn't that difficult.

I suspect you are correct - I have been using EasyBcd for so long it has become a habit - I'm not SURE you are correct - - just suspect

And just the opposite here. I've never used it to set up a dual, or triple, or quad. Not necessary. Comes in handy if something gets messed up down the road, like the bcddata records, but never up front. I AM sure. :)

I used it for a long time, it is excellent to quickly change from one build to another with a single click, especially sometimes when I'm away from my PC and I use a wireless mouse to control it and I do not have access to the keyboard to configure the boot from the Bios (and it's not that I want to use it, I love being able to manage everything on my PCs only with my wireless mouse), every build is on its own disk.
