Hi guys,

I have a Win 10 Pro install on an SSD and I'd like to add an image of my Win8 install so that I can dual boot Win10 and Win8 from the same SSD.

I resized the Win10 partition and copied the Win8 partition so it looks like this:

Win10%20Win8%20dual%20boot.png


The SSD is GPT and the EFI partition belongs to Win10. It's not aware of the Win8 partition at all. When I boot using Windows Boot Manager in UEFI it only boots to Win10. It doesn't display an OS selection dialog.

How can I change the EFI partition to make it aware of both Win10 and Win8?

Thanks!
 
Do a repair on boot, it will pick up the other OS and add it to the selection menu.

I thought about that, but I was afraid it might break my Win10 bootloader. I'm gonna try EasyBCD first, then image and try using repair on boot. Thanks!
