I have win7 x64 as my main and I need to install win 10 as my secondary OS. I was hoping a simple dual boot will do, but I ran into problems.
When installing on a different hard drive (not merely a different partition), win 10 gives me warning that GPT will be a problem - or some such message. I noticed that people making dual boot 7/10 tutorials use their main drive, shrink it and install win 10 there. So I tried that too, but win10 is unhappy again saying that it's MBR.
I want to occasionally play Half Life Alyx and for the oculus VR support, unfortunatly I need win 10. My computer is plenty fast, but I don't want to damage the win7 main install. As I understand it, I can't dual boot normally, but I can select boot drive order from BIOS and that way I can switch the OSes. I'm happy with that as I'd only be running win10 seldomly.
My question is- will doing that- installing win10 on a different drive as GPT destroy my win7 main install? Thank you!
