asked on How to delete Windows 10 Boot Managers?
Hi
I have reinstalled Windows 10 beta twice on my test laptop. But when I install Windows 7 now it will no more boot. I will just see a black screen.
Sometimes I event can’t format the old partitions with the Windows 7 DVD. Then I have to delete all Partitions with a Paragon recovery Linux CD. I think the problem is because the Windows 10 Boot Managers?

If yes how can I get rid of them both?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Type MSConfig into a run command, then click the Boot tab, then remove the entries for Windows Boot Manager which are listed for OS's that no longer exist.
Not only diskpart. That is winPE.

Hi David

no you don't have to.. it just means that you are defeating the secure boot procedure.. I personally don't know how to modify the UEFI bios to remove entries that are added to it other than re-flashing the bios.

You didn't execute the commands.
The clean command wipes the whole disk and all boot entries with it.

EasyBCD will NOT remove entries in the UEFI bios.
http://www.easyuefi.com/index-us.html is one program to edit the uefi boot entries
or boot into a recent linux live cd and use efibootmgr to remove the entry by number, as in:

diskpart will work with Windows 7 DVD?
@Roshan Ejaz
How can I remove it using MSConfig? I think EasyBCD will not work for me as I have Windows 7 Pro and Windows 10 Pro.
