I'm having trouble booting 10 Technical Preview from vhd using a Windows 7 host machine I'm assuming that the bootloader changed in Windows 8 and since I'm using the bootloader from 7 I can't chainload the Windows 10 properly. If there is some way that I can chainload Windows 10 that is installed to a vhd (which is completely supported in the Technical Preview) I would appreciate the info... I do not want to have to replace the bootsect of my mbr with the newer windows one if at all possible
Hi stayboogy, Boot into Windows 7 and mount the Windows 10 VHD. Open an Admin CMD Prompt and type Code: bcdboot X:\Windows /s Z: for BIOS or UEFI Code: bcdboot X:\Windows /s Z: /f ALL X = Windows 10 VHD Z = Windows 7 Boot drive. That should replace the Windows 7 bootloader with the Windows 10 bootloader, when you reboot you should have the options for both Operating Systems
THANK YOU, but I was trying to avoid having to use the new bootloader on my mbr... guess there's no way around it... ugh
