    Only MBR. But you can install 7 in MBR and do the Upgrade. If successfully activated, install freshly by using GPT layout this time :cool2:.

    This will still work since it doesn't affect the HWID :good3::

    Oh thanks, and what about that windows update disabler? I really understand why M$ will be using whole builds instead of separate hotfixes, but why they force you to update?

    Trying a Dual-Boot setup of Win 10 2015 n LTSB Enterprise with Win7 (Daz) already installed. Problem getting installation to start on a separate disk. Is it possible Win 10 install is picking up Win7 key or is it unrelated?

    I have had problems everytime I try to try to install windows on a drive when I have it installed on another drive on the same system. I have only been successful if I unplug the other drive, then install and then replug the 2nd drive after install.

    Would assume it's the nasty Win 10 Boot (the default Hydridshutdown feature) that plays rock 'n roll with Win 7.

    Have already upgrade to win 10 and afterwards made a clean install. It's activated. Next step would be install Office but wonder if using any of MDL tools to activate office will affect the activation of win 10. Please point me to any thread disscusing this matter.

    Dolorus, my windows 8.1 was core (single language) so i intended to install home version of win 10. the update to win 10 went fine (it was activated). after that i clean install using a win 10 home iso downloaded from MS.
    i dont get what's going on here...
