Windows 7 Ult 64 bit trapped by BSD and can not get out.
FreeCat:
OK, thanks, Boggin. I have to take all you said in and rest for a day or so before I move again. I am very fearful that W7 will go back to unusable state. I --- before your response --- was thinking of install the dozen or so programs that I use 90+% of the time fresh on W10 and then doing a virtual boot of 7 into 10 - avoiding dual boot which will waste time.
Happy to hear that W10 will not cost. My plan would be to install 7 from MS disc onto the SSD (valid copy) and then put W10 on to that.
What do you think of that?
Boggin:
Are you still talking about a virtual install ?
FreeCat:
hehe - I do not know what virtual install is. What I am planning (but not sure is a good idea) is install fresh 7 onto the new ssd using the 7 ultimate 64 product key. Then installing 10 onto that ssd. then, when I want to use 7 load it as virtual OS from my (damaged) w7.
Boggin:
I think once you have gotten used to Win 10 you won't want to go back to 7.
FreeCat:
OK, Boggin - So what I said makes sense. I am just afraid of W7 conversion effort bringing broken registry stuff in W10. But, if I can use W7 programs (those I only use 10% of the time) in a virtual image of 7 that would make me feel safer. Does it make sense to you?
