Hello guys :) I have Windows 8 installed on my computer right now but I'd like to have also Windows 7 (want to install Win 7 on vhd - shfit f10 - diskpart - select vdisk - attach vdisk). I want to have option of choose one of these two opearting systems in boot menu. How to do it? Can I insert dvd with 7 and install it (shfit f10 - diskpart - select vdisk - attach vdisk)? What about bootloader? When 7 is first and 8 is installed later bootloader of 7 is overwrite with new one (8).
