    Nice video, Dan. A bit complicated for beginners.

    Makes sense for Rowin to detach his/her win7 disk. (Pretty sure it is bios/mbr.)
    Attach a new disk.
    Install win10 to the new disk using bios/mbr.
    Then reattach the win 7 disk.
    Now the user can select which to boot via bios.

    CPU G620 is probably running on an h61 mobo.
    HP Pavilion p6-2118 - tower - Pentium G620 2.6 GHz - 4 GB - 500 GB Specs - CNET

    The HP p6-2100 listed in Rowin's specs usually have amd cpu


    Replacing the G620 with something like the i5 2400s would be a nice upgrade for that machine. They are very cheap now.

    Compare G620 vs i5 2400

    That's not the computer but one of my old ones. The new one is a build

    I'm not a beginner, been computing 22 years, just green about dual-booting, as I've done it only once. I've bookmarked the video, and when I'm ready, I'll view it again.

    RoWin7, I recently completed a video that you might find helpful.

    dg1261, thank you so much for an excellent video! Lots of information to digest, lots of insight into what Macrium Reflect 7 does and how it does it, and it looks like I need to check and make sure Fastboot is disabled in Win10 on my newly dual-booting system.
