It may still come back. Ended up hiding some updates that were to do with this
ieeus. Can't remember which ones they were though ;-)

Speaking of Windows 10, does anyone here know how to stop the
incredibly persistent and annoying 'upgrade to Windows 10' message that
pops up constantly on my (not studio) laptop?


Thanks,
Floyd...

You would have to install Windows 7 first and then install 10 on a

There are various ways to do this, some which eliminate more problems

than others.



Whatever you do, I wouldn’t recommend installing them on the same
drive with
2 partitions; windows 10 makes various changes that on any given
update could cause windows 7 to be unhappy or not boot; MS is trying
to shub windows 10 down everybody’s throat, so they can meet their
target of userbase. They’re just unhappy that Apple is giving away
free copies of their OS and are doing quite well still, and it has
actually increased their ecosystem. This is what MS is now trying to
get, people to fall into their ecosystem; windows PC, windows phone,
Xbox for the livingRoom etc.



Anyways, you could install windows 7 on 1 drive, and while that drive

is online, install windows 10 on a second drive. The point is to let
windows 10 installer access the win 7 drive during install, so it can

create an entry for windows 10 in the boot partition/loader.

This works, however note that any changes made to the master boot
record or EFI partition could cause 1 or both OS to not boot, since
they are sharing the same MBR/EFI.



My setup when doing tests and dualboots for testing is to use the
motherboard BIOS/UEFI to do it.

In this case I just ad a second drive, take my main drive offline,
and
install the OS I’m testing on it’s own drive with its own boot
partition, as if it was a fresh install, which in essence it is. Now,

when I want to boot that OS, I just select the drive that Has the OS
on it at boot from the quick boot menu. This let’s me test the OS,
reinstall as many times as I need to with no risk of messing up boot
records or EFI on my main drive, and the 2 OS’s never touch each
other
since there’s nothing linking them. This is how I will be testing win

10 in the near future, once I can get a spare SSD to put in my DAW.



If you are going to have them share a single boot partition, you MUST

install the older OS first. So it would require a reinstall of
windows 10.
For those who are using laptops and can’t use multiple drives, you
might not have any other choice but to partition and install that
way,
however be very careful and make constant backups of Important data.

Wouldn't recommend it. Seem to remember seeing posts about this on
the
MIDIMag list. Something about Windows 10 checking hard disks. I know
some folks are running systems with drives that can be popped out.
Duel booting could still be an option although haven't had a chance
to
explore this as an option personally. What do you think DJX?

How complicated is it to have a multiboot system with Windows 7
installed after Windows 10 is already in place? Maybe that is the way

I should go. Are there any drawbacks to this idea?
