Yes, but why do I have to install the older operating system?

Hi,

 

It is recommended to install the older operating system first.

 

Windows' 10 boot manager supersedes the W7 boot manager.

 

You want the W10 boot manager controlling boot options.

 

Try W10 first if this is your preference.

Oh yeah, but I didn't have any issues. Is there a workaround?

Hi,

 

Just do whatever you think should be done.

 

Tired of answering hypothetical questions.

Hi,

 

You gave me a solution.

 

Did we solve the problem?

 

Are you dual booting W7 and W10?

Yes, I can dual boot with Windows 10 and 7. Changing the default operating system, I can boot to Windows 7 anytime. The only issues now are just fetching drivers and bypassing verify sufficient permissions to start system services.

Also forgot to add, the USB 3.0 drivers work, ignoring the fact that it doesn't support the particular CPU I have.

Hi Syntaxium,

 

That is good to hear you have W7 installed and running.

 

It is a fairly complex process.
