    Hi all,
    Not sure where to ask this, I'll start here.

    Have dual Windows 10 installed on Samsung Evo 840 mSata SSD, 250GB . After installing the second OS and on reboots it shows 5 Windows 10 OS to choose. 2 work. The other 3 don’t and would like to know if there’s a way to remove them on start-up?

    The notebook has 2, 1TB HHD and the mSata SSD. I needed to add a partition to one HHD to hand off boot start-up to the SSD. When Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 were set as the 2 OS. It was fine. Notice the issue when wiping the SSD clean of all partitions and doing a clean install of Windows 10. This is when 5 came up.

    Could someone guide me through the process to remove the 3 ghost?

    Thanks

    Yes use MSconfig to remove the ones you don't need

    Doesn't bootfix do it for you?
