Dual Boot Windows 7 and Windows 10 from separate drives?
I seen a few different ways to accomplish this. If you have two existing drives that each will boot up their version of the OS, what boots up by default with them in the system at the same time? That'll help you figure out the bootloader being used.
One option could be to look at something like EasyBCD: https://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/. I don't use this tool personally but have seen others leverage it.

I did see suggestions for that product but I was trying to get a Microsoft solution. Windows 10 is my primary OS btw. I saw that Windows 10 had a nice UI for the boot screen and would love to get that to work.
Problem is that Microsoft doesn't realize is that a lot of us have old hard drives and it makes no sense to install Windows 10 on the same drive as our Windows 7 OS. Especially where the new drives are so much faster and saving our data from destruction increases exponentially.
