Have now successfully installed new licence for W10 on separate SSD and can select either W7 of W10 at bootup. Both work perfectly. Many thanks to all who helped with this

Many thanks for your input - it's clarified many things. I'll get back to you in the next few days to update on progress. Have a great weekend (to you and all advising!)

Hi, Thanks for responding so speedily. The reason for my question was that I have tried unsuccessfully to update my existing W7 system to W10. Despite using several workarounds, etc. it still doesn't work. Thus, I have been contemplating doing the clean install. As part of the earlier...

I'm about to install W10 as a clean install using my W7 license number (validated within W7 system so should work). This will be installed on a new SSD but I intend to retain my existing W7 set-up on its existing SSD and selecting which system to use at boot up. Can I continue to access my W7...
