    Hello,

    I'm currently running windows 7 on my laptop on a GPT formatted partition and I wanted to try out Windows 10 by dualbooting so I shrinked my partition to create some unallocated space which all went fine.
    But during the install setup, when I create a partition out of said unallocated space, it creates an additional system and MSR partition even though these are already present meaning that I have duplicates of those partitions. Along with the error message that the parition order is not recommended. So I've canelled the installation out of fear that I might damage WInows 7.

    So does anyone know the proper method of installing win10 on a empty partition with windows 7 already installed?
