I cloned my Windows 7 Pro X64 system to another HDD then upgraded the cloned system to Windows 8 Pro.
As a result both Win7 and Win8 have the same Boot Manager Data, so I currently use the BIOS alternate boot option to select which system to boot.
Have tried a number of "solutions" so far, but all have gone pear-shaped and each time I've had to recover both systems because these solutions have resulted in subsequent problems with booting up either system.
Have used "BCDEDIT /ENUM /V" to list the data from both systems and included that in the attached files.
Would welcome a safe solution that would remove the need to go via the bios options.
Thanks in advance.
