    Dual boot Windows 10 with windows 7 ?


    I have just installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop, I would also like to put Windows 10 on here as
    well. Although I have dual booted Linux and Windows in the past, I have no experience with dual-booting
    Windows and Windows. This laptop has the UEFI bios, with GPT, I have experience with legacy bios and
    MBR partitioning but UEFI is new to me. Can someone point me in the right direction? Preferably with graphical tools. I have used DiskPart in the past but crashed my machine as a result.
    Thank you.
    Edit: I have a windows 10 install DVD and a Windows 10 license.

    Reading the tutorial, I see it is for installing from a USB Stick not a DVD, although there are some
    common denominators, I will look for something specific to DVD media installation.

    Edit: Success, after some trial and error I now have Windows 7 Ultimate and
    Windows 10 Home Edition, dual booted on this laptop.
    Thanks for the help.
