Windows 10 showing Windows 8.1 on boot loader

[SeiraArraveug]

I noticed when I check my boot loader today, it shows windows 8.1 but i have a WIndows 10 Pro. How can I fix this? And is this problem can affect my system? I mean I can use my laptop but this issue is weird.

do you mean it is listing win 8.1 and win 10 giving you 2 options?

or is it showing win 10 as win 8.1 and only that choice?

Im running windows 10 but when I checked my bootloader, it shows Windows 8.1, check my images above I just uploaded it 😀
Umm maybe because I upgraded from Windows 8.1? But why won't Windows 10 fixed that..

HOW have you navigated to the boot loader.

I suspect it didn't replace the W8.1 boot loader during the UPGRADE though it would have done so with a clean install.

Anyway, this would not affect Windows.

I used CMD and typed bcdedit. but I first saw this on msconfig. I was troubleshooting my laptop intermittent BSOD showing "inaccessible_boot_device".. Anyway, only clean install can fix this? 🙁

must be a residual effect of the upgrade to win 10. i did the same thing and it says win 10 and win 7 for me. but they are both fresh installs. my win 10 was never an upgrade but was a freebie from the insider program.

i'd say it is not a big deal if everything works. but it more than likely will take a fresh install to reset it to say win 10. i have never tried editing this file so i have no idea if you can simply change it to read win 10 in some setting somewhere

edit: i checked 2 other pc's that were win 10 upgrades and they all say win 10 in the bootloader. so not sure what the issue is as it is not really normal apparently. i'd assume if it becomes an issue, a fresh install would be the way to set it right.

Yea everything works except the BSOD I experienced.. I'll open a new thread for that. Thanks!
