    You need one partition for Win 10 Pro AND one partition for Win 8.1 Pro. The "System Reserved" partition will contain the necessary items for booting your PC (bootmgr, BCD, etc...).

    It is very easy to setup dual boot from within windows.
    Just boot to windows. Have the ISO extracted to a folder.
    Run setup.exe from the "Sources" folder. DO NOT run setup from the root of the folder.
    Skip the key.
    Choose "Custom: Install Windows only (Advanced)".
    Then, you select a partition or drive to install the new windows installation to.
    Done! You will have the windows 10 boot menu at startup.
    I always get rid of the win 10 boot menu by running Easy BCD. All I do is change the boot timeout to 3 seconds, hit save, and bam! Legacy boot loader.

    Edit: Repeat the process again to have a triple boot system.

    There's also a blue window saying that there are windows updates available and asking me if I want to restart the PC.

    Where does Windows store the daily pictures in the Lock Screen?

    Thanks!

    If you mean Windows spotlight images:
    In C: > Users > [your username] > AppData > Local > Packages > Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy > LocalState > Assets

    I just recently took this update on my desktop that hadn't been turned on in almost 2 years and I must say... my absolute FAVORITE part about this update was all of the files (I think just applications) it decided to delete without even asking me or keeping a list of what it destroyed.

    Absolutely fantastic update. Love it so much.

    WU upgrade will keep all files and apps, ISO upgrade gives options what to keep.

    I'm not talking about an option that was given to me and I know what you're talking about, I am talking about executable files disappearing out of folders after the update. Digging around on Google revealed I wasn't the only person to have this issue but there is nothing that can be done. GG Microsoft.

    A lot of them were shady programs and I get that, but really strange ones I don't quite understand were minecraft.exe (official, not cracked or anything) and some batch files I had created... really annoying to lose those. They were just plucked out of the folder where they resided.

    @RGadelha About this. The extensions of the pictures is .jpg? Because I need to rename them in order to watch them. Thanks!

    Edit: I did it with ren * *.jpg at cmd and it worked. Thanks anyway :)

    If it was ESD>ISO it wasn't allowed on MDL, and iso's made from ESD can't be verified because all converted iso will have unique checksums.

    I'm probably going to get roasted for this question but I'm having some issues updating my enterprise edition to the 15063 creators update.

    The main thing I've tried is downloading an ESD to convert to an iso but when I try using ESDTOWIM it says the file is encrypted. The esd I downloaded is: "15063.0.170317-1834.rs2_release_cliententerprise_vol_x64fre_en-us_fbd5592cfdabdbd9c2b21a29ba3501f5bbfcf2f7.esd".

    Anyone have a link to a "how to" post on what I'm trying to do or any suggestions?

    EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. Found the esd decrypter program and its doing its thing now.

    A bit late on a response to this question, assuming you are on a desktop, the best suggestion in my opinion is to purchase a hard drive switch (Kingwin makes one for ~25.00...allowing up to 6 drives to be on/off at will). Before you boot up, you turn on whichever drive you want to use and wallah. you're booted into whatever you OS you want. Plus with the switch, you can turn on or off additional drives you may use for storage etc (make sure hot plug is active in your bios if you want to do this).
