Thanks for reviewing my thread and response.

My HP Pavillion dv6-2066dx AMD processor came with OEM installed Win 7

As Microsoft stopped Win 7 updates, I am thinking of getting to win 10 preferably Dual boot with win 7 to try/test.

Here is the info from my laptop

Hi

I suggest Virtual Box for these occasions, and no doubt you have already got a structured plan in place.

Thanks for your guidance.

Hi

Run each one, individually, as they are part of a larger overall package.

Thanks for your guidance.

I took the route to upgrade to win 10 instead of fixing updates of dying win 7. I liked win7, but skipping win 10 upgrade option is risk.

Thanks again.
