Creating dual boot with windows 7

[Bevy300]

Hi everyone,
I recently installed windows 10, however it's giving me some issues and I don't think it's 100% compatible with my hardware. So I'm installing windows 7 to see if these issues resolve (the hardware is made for windows 7). Will creating a dual boot with windows 10 do anything wrong to my pc?

on the same hard drive?

or separate hard drive?

On the same drive.

Do you have two, individual, valid licenses?
Ideally, the older Win OS gets installed first, then the newer one.

Yes I do. If it did create an issue tho, how would I go about removing windows 10 from my PC. I've looked this up and all I get is reinstalling windows 10. I'd rather just windows 7 with no dual boot.

I have a 6 year old desktop that was built for Vista. It now has Vista, 8.1, and 10 in a triple boot configuration, and all 3 work just fine.

Good luck.

Could we know what the problem is with Windows 10?

Is some driver missing?

Do you have some special hardware in your system?

First impressions from Windows 10 is that it delivers all the needed drivers on installation/update (even suggests drivers to be downloaded from manufacturer site with exact specification).

Dual booting means that the latest OS - in your case Windows 10 - should take control of the booting of all other installed systems (e.g. Windows 10 boot manager should be in control of the booting).
