Auto-Hiding Unused OS in Dual Boot
Hi
I have been trying to install Win10 on a dual boot system which includes all my apps and preferences etc. I have succeeded in doing this although I have one problem I just cannot find an answer for.
When I had a dual boot system with Win7 and WinXP whichever OS I was in, the partition for the unused OS was hidden. Currently when I am in Win7 the Win10 partition is visible and available for use and in Win10 the Win7 partition is visible and available for use -- and I would prefer that they were hidden. I even had to hide the small boot partition by removing the partition letter -- but how do I auto-hide the Win7 partition when I'm using Win10 or the Win10 partition when I'm using Win7. IS there any way of hiding the Win10 partition when I'm using Win7 and vice versa. There has to be a way of doing this otherwise the user would be running the risk of doing some unintended damage to the unused OS.
I would have thought the MS Boot Manager would be capable of auto-hiding an unused OS although I do recognise that Win10 is not due for official release until the end of the month. Nevertheless, I would have thought such a feature would already be part of Win10.
If anyone has any idea of how to hide the unused OS I would appreciate your help very much. Perhaps I shall have to use a third party boot manager. Whatever, I hope someone can help. Incidentally I'm posting this message here as I am using the Win7 boot manager.
Hope someone can help.
