    Dual Booting Windows 10 and Windows 7 drivers question


    Hey Guys,
    I just built this Computer and I installed Windows 10 on it. I wanted to play a game on it so I wanted to install windows 7 on the hard drive too. And know when the installation finished, none of my drivers from the other os didn't copy to this os. So would I have to re-install the Mobo drivers and my graphics card drivers?


    Thanks,
    Randy

    As far as I know you have to install drivers for each OS

    Hi,
    You built a Dell computer ?
    That's what your system spec's page says :)
    Could you update them if you still have the Dell just add the new one to the Other info section.
    But yea drivers do need to be installed again.
