I'm trying to install Windows 10 as a dual-boot OS alongside my current Win 7 installation. I use the media creation tool to create bootable media on my flash drive. However, after entering the product key and completing the install, it prompts a restart. When that happens, I get a blue screen of death. Not my own picture, but I get the same screen:

I also tried with 8.1 (that's my original extra OS, before upgrading it to 10), but same result. In fact, with 8.1, it prompted me to remove my F: drive, which is an internal SSD. Unless it detected it differently due to being a new OS? Nevertheless, still ended up with the blue screen.
Is this a common occurrence? If so, what would be the likely cause?
I never had this issue before I upgraded 8.1 to 10. I had a perfectly fine dual-boot setup. After upgrading, the Win 10 installation got screwed up at some point for whatever reason, with the boot manager no longer appearing to let me select the OS, forcing me to use msconfig to switch operating systems to Win 10, upon which I was greeted with the BSOD. So then I had to format the SSD on which it was installed.
