No dual boot menu at all?!


Hello,
]
I recently (clean) installed Windows 10 on a new SSD. Windows 7 resides on my first drive.

1) I first set the USB to boot from;

2) Began to install Windows 10;

3) First snare: upon first reboot, after removing the USB, the system just started my old Windows 7 (!). (I expected a dual boot menu there.)

4) Rebooted, set SSD to first disk, and finished installing Windows 10;

5); Tried to add boot menu later (both in Windows 7 and Windows 10), using the Advanced System Settings, to no avail: neither OS sees another boot partition.

Question, how can I dual boot, after all?!

Thanks.

Boot into Windows 10, Open disk management, take a note on the drive letter of the other Windows 7 then Open Admin Command and type:
bcdboot x:Windows
Where x is the drive letter of Windows 7.

Thx. I remember that program from a decade or so ago, LOL. I'll check it out.

I just hope, when I boot from Windows 10 (second disk), Windows will really see it as the first disk (else my system could be hosed)

Will try that too, Thx! You guys are great!

Thanks, that worked!!

I don't get the pretty Windows 10 boot menu that way, but I can live with that.

In Windows 10, From Admin Command:
bcdboot %windir%
You should get a GUI Boot Windows
