We take into account the stability and compatibility of Windows 8, I believe many people are installed in the Windows 7-windows 8 dual system, but you will find that the boot menu will cause a lot of problems. In order to better help everyone, here to the situation and share with you, write this article is to help more people less detours, the article methods are to be tested. This method applies to the full range of products currently available in Windows 8.
First, there are two possible scenarios:
A. Install Windows 7 First, then install Windows 8
B. Install Windows 8 First, then install Windows 7
A, then there's no doubt that the result is Metro's boot menu, which has two drawbacks:
1.
Windows 8 is the default system after boot, and if you choose Windows 7, you will restart and then enter Windows 7.
2.
Windows 8 Once run, there is no system disk boot, even windows 7 can not access
First of all, to analyze the cause of this situation, as we all know, Windows 8 introduced a quick launch of this function, the official said is to be part of the system to start the information required to store in a file, the boot directly after the call, will save a lot of time. But in fact, to correct its essence, is actually dormant. So that's why Metro's boot menu appears after the Windows 8 icon is displayed, not before this, because the default quick boot is open, then the boot is not read directly after booting, but will first enter the system, if the boot menu before Windows 8 Start, Then you'll just skip over.
After analyzing the reason, then say the solution: the way is to fix the Metro menu to boot up on the normal menu, I personally use Bcdautofix v1.23 (BCD), of course, you can also use the Windows 7 Bootsect to repair. You can repair under Windows 8, but the fact that Windows 8 is used, there is a certain probability of a false shutdown phenomenon, the power LED is not extinguished, knocking on the keyboard and then back to the landing interface, the reason is to quickly start the nature of this function caused. So it is recommended that you or advanced Windows 7 repair, automatic repair after completion can run Msconfig instructions into the system configuration under the boot tag to modify the default system and wait time.
As for the operating system display text you can change your own in the Windows 7 optimization master, this requires netframework3.5 environment, my Windows 8 installed 3.5, no children can run under Windows 7, modify the operating system display text, I modified is windows8 and Windows7, show concise, up and down order can be adjusted, I put the windows8 on the top.
This is basically done, then go to Windows 8, press Win+x to run the command prompt with administrator privileges, enter instructions powercfg-h off, or go to the power options on the control Panel to manually turn off the quick start, because this is the only real shutdown that will show windows 8 icon before the boot menu. Otherwise, it will go directly into Windows 8 without booting. Actually turn off also nothing, just slow 10 seconds or so, the total time about 30 seconds, will not have much impact, but the start of Windows 7 do not have to restart once, and need to go to the Control Panel to open or run powercfg-h on also line.
b situation, relatively good solution, as long as the Windows 8 set to the default startup, and then the same as a situation to turn off the Windows 8 system fast start on it!
