How to dual-boot Windows 7 BETA on a Vista computer
November 15th, 2010 by admin


In this video tutorial I walk you through all of the steps on how to dual-boot Windows 7 BETA on your Vista computer. We'll set it up so both operating systems are running from the same hard drive. Once you are done, you'll be able to run either Windows 7 or Windows Vista. Your original Windows Vista install will not be removed or modified. This is a safe way to try out Windows 7 without having to install it on a separate computer or hard drive. You can find the solution to the "Shrinking Volume" problem on my blogpage that supports this video. www.mikemclin.com/blog/2009/01/video-how-to-dual-boot-windows-7-beta-on-a-vista-computer/
