I've recently upgraded (?) my win7 to win10 all went well till I tried running some older games, these don't work under win10. So on a separate drive I did a clean install of win7 with minimum features just to run the games.
It's been working OK but the dual boot screen is the older win7 one, I can live with that but sometimes when I start up it goes straight into win10 without showing the boot choice screen (win7 is the default). Now I know I've gone about this the wrong way round and should have done a clean install of win10 after installing win7 but I didn't know I'd run into difficulties.
Win10 is on an SSD C drive and win7 is on a HDD B drive. Are there any ways of fixing this without doing a clean install of win10? I don't have an iso of win10 as I let Microsoft do the works. as I couldn't see the option of doing it any other way. If I have to bite the bullet and do a clean install how do I go about it?
 
I would go into msconfig and checking the boot options in Windows 10, to see the default OS option is windows 7, it may be worth checking it in Windows 7 to. I also changed the timeout from 30 to 10 seconds, which can be done here to.

Hope this helps :)
