Hi,
I want to install a linux boot loader that will enable me to boot multiple partitions including windows or linux types, is there a program that will run in windows 10 that can do this? Having issues doing it from the linux cd, thanks in advance.
In the past MS has been very nice about letting me move my win7 drive from computer to computer as I've upgraded machines. (had to reauthorize but that's not a biggie)
Now I have win7 on my main machine balanced nicely with a lot of apps. I do not want to upgrade this.
Nor do I want to stop...

Hi,
Firstly, I'm new to the forums so wanted to say hey to everyone.
My main issue is in a multi-boot scenario (2 harddrives, both with an xp and win 8.1 partition), boot.ini comes before BCD so I can never boot the windows 8.1 drives.
Quick back story:
Originally had 2 harddrives, both xp...
I plan to soon upgrade my OEM Windows 7 to Windows 8 and then Windows 8.1 I believe my main operating system will then no longer be OEM and be able to be transferred to another pc.
I also own a full version of Windows 7.
Once I upgrade OEM Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, how can I use the full...

I'm wondering if it's possible to do the following:

I also have Windows 8 installed on my HDD.
Is it possible to install programs on only one of the instances of Windows 8 and access those programs from both instances of Windows 8? I was hoping to install...

But unfortuantely there is only my main Win7 listted.
The other Win7 is NOT listed...
