564784, Adding W10 to wife's XP laptop
Posted by lenjack, Thu Dec-28-17 01:53 AM
I'm going to use MS assisted upgrade to W10 before it runs out on 1/1.

I'll use Aomei Partition Assistant, or Minitool Partition Wizard to create a separate partition on the 500G HD and install W7 Pro on it, since I know I can't upgrade to W10 from XP. After the upgrade to W10, I assume I should be able to then use EasyBCD to decide which OS to boot from till I get W10 completely up to speed.

Do I have this right? If I mess up the XP on her laptop, I'll need to become a carpenter, since I'll need to build a doghouse.
