    Take a look at EasyBCD which is free for personal use and should be able to easily setup your boot menu to load multiple operating systems

    Hi All,
    Greets,

    1.During POST, Del key launches BIOS options / config.
    On a Asus MB, F8 launches the boot menu (without entering BIOS)
    @Amina Alomari : Mam, Take note of what Sir says. You can launch one time boot menu on your system by pressing F8 repeatedly as soon as you press the power button. We will need it in the near future.

    2. And you should remove the letter from either OS when you`re booted into either OS, so they don`t see each other, unless for some reason you want them to
    Now i came to understand what Sir AddRAM was saying. just have a look at your disks:

    Attachment 404475

    Here the red marked partitions are crucial system parts of each OS and they should not be touched from the other OS. Always take care. Never access from other OS for now. We would see whether we can permanently do that.
    We can take that into account only after establishing our objective

    3. Everything is well in BIOS.

    4. Its done if you have enabled showing extensions.

    5. We would be working mainly on windows 10 for now. Have & keep a good look on it. Be familiar & attentive with the drive letters assigned to each drive & partition from within windows 10. Even forget windows 7 for a while. Apart from that always follow the instructions.

    6. The task would take a few more days. Because i have to take proper cover if something goes wrong so that we can revert back to present status. Whatever happens you will be always able to use windows 7 and revert back windows 10 to the present status.

    7.We need to know what is the full edition name of windows 10 ? You are using english version ? We need to download that iso which would be about 4GB. Are you ready ?

    Thanks & Regards. ...



    Hello again mr. Vineet Garg,
    My windows 10 version is windows 10 home, version 1709.
    Os build 16299.15




    Regarding the final point you mentioned .. i have my windows 10 on a DVD disc.like a virtual disk not an iso file.


    For easybcd should i download it now? Or not?



    Thank you again ..

    Hi,
    Greets,

    Mam,
    Be ready with a pen drive of 8gb or more capacity for dedicated use & make these downloads :

    1) EasyBCD : Software Library - NeoSmart Technologies
    ( You need not register, just click the "DOWNLOAD!'' button)

    2) Rufus Portable : Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way
    ( go to the ''Download'' section & download Rufus 3.1 portable)

    3) HashMyFiles : HashMyFiles: Calculate MD5/SHA1/CRC32 hash of files
    (around bottom there will be ''Download HashMyFiles for 64 bit systems''


    Get a new link yourself : TechBench by WZT (v4.1.1)
    select your edition etc, take note of SHA-1 value and click/copy the download link. Every time the link will work for next 24 hours. Any problem in selection ? Just see/click the below image :

    Let us know.

    Thanks & Regards. ...

    To be contd. ...
    After above downloads :

    1. check the integrity of the downloaded iso with HashMyFiles against the noted SHA-1 checksum.

    (a) As you can see downloaded HashMyFiles is a zip. We need to extract it to a folder to actually use it. There are many good free extractor programs like 7-zip ( https://www.7-zip.org/download.html > x64.exe ). Its possible that there is already one on your windows 10.
    OR
    if you are not interested in installing, the other option is the inbuilt feature in windows 10 :
    Unzip Files from Zipped Folder in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials
    (check 'show extracted files when complete' )
    OR
    I have uploaded the extracted files here :
    hashmyfiles-x64 - Google Drive
    (download them one by one (3 files) & keep in a folder. )

    b) After extraction, go in the extracted folder & launch HashMyFiles.exe. Then browse to the iso using 'File' menu item or simply drag & drop the iso in the window. The iso will take sometime to load & then checksums will appear. Now compare the SHA-1 with the noted one & its done !

    Hi All,
    Greets,
    Mam,
    1.The attached image (above) tells you exactly what selections to make for your said version , just click the image and it will zoom ! No problem : This link will work for next 24 hours :

    2.cant my cd work instead?
    I don't know exactly what is there & If it is still good ?
    What i meant by ''Dedicated pen drive'' is only that all the data will be deleted on it. Once our goal is achieved & everything goes well, you can use it for any other thing. Just keep Win 10 Iso handy & you can prepare media whenever required. That's all.

    ( The power was down here )

    Thanks & Regards. ...

    Hello mr. Vinnet.
    My installed win 10 version is 1709 not 1803.
    Anyway i started downloading it , does that mean ill have to install windows 10 all over again?


    And yes my cd is good i have used it 1 month ago. So i suppose it works fine.


    Looking for your advice here , thanks a lot again.
