    Use this recovery media. Boot it up.

    17514x86.iso

    17514x64-v8.iso

    Open nt6repair ( it is on the desktop).

    In the FIX OS LETTER section select the letter the of the windows partition. (That is letter of the windows partition as seen from the booted media )

    Click Fix.

    Job done.
    But even both partitions seem to be bootable

    It is complicated to fix, that is why I made the program to fix it for you.

    So, to make it clear, I'll mount this iso file to a cd, boot from this cd, run "nt6repair" and In the FIX OS LETTER section select the letter of the windows partition - in my case this letter is "D", right ? - and fix and done ? That's all ? No other click ?

    And after that I'll continue to see dual boot option?
    Will still be able to boot from old partition ?

    It's very critical old partition remain operational because is my current windows partition

    Not necessary letter will be "D" as Win PE can assign another letter to it.

    It doesn't affect your dual boot in any way.

    Because you are able to boot into windows ADMIN7 you can do it from there. You don't need to do it from winpe.

    Boot into ADMIN7, then use nt6repair to point at whatever drive letter ADMIN10 shows as, then click FIX.

    I have made nt6repair in executable form, so you can run it from within ADMIN7

    It is compiled x86 so it is cross platform.
