So I’ve watched your fantastic YouTube series on how to set up a duel boot system using xp and vista and i would like to attempt creating my own but with a few difference, hence the questions:

 

So i recently bought a new lappy and i want to see how it would run with a fresh install of W7 ultimate and getting rid of the bloated as hell W7 install HP puts on there. So i thought there’s no better way than to set it to dual boot a second copy of W7, this time ultimate, while still preserving the factory W7 home prem installation.

 

Now i have made a full set of the hp system recovery discs (basically W7 home prem with an extra 12gigs of bloatware woven through it) that will restore the system back to how it came out of the factory, so if i mess things up i am backed up.

 

So to the point, in your vids you are going from xp to xp+vista, in my situation im going from W7 home premium to W7 home premium + W7 ultimate. Can i just follow all the same steps as in your vids or are there changes that need to be made when dualing two copies of W7?

 

Also I’ve seen other guides where people are doing 2 W7s and they are simply just creating a a new partition and installing a fresh copy then they supposedly get a boot menu automatically… can i get away with this or do i need to use Boot-US.

 

Well that should just about do it, a big thanks for any help.

Thanks for the comments.

You should follow the other tutorials regarding Windows 7. Windows 7 comes with an integrated boot menu which simplifies the whole process of setting up dual boot systems.

Hope this helps :)
