When installing Windows 10 and I don't unplug my other drives first (which have Windows 7 installed), does the Windows 10 installation do something different (and disgusting IMHO) for the sake of the equally disgusting fast startup, that it wouldn't do if I had remembered to unplug the other drives first?
I do disable hibernation the first time I run Windows 10.
The reason I ask is because I did install Windows 10 on another computer that had Windows 7 drives. But that time I remembered to unplug the other drives first. I have no problems with that computer.
By the way, all my hard drives are bootable and I can load and run any Windows installation no matter which drive I boot from. Thanks EasyBCD!
95% of the time everything works on my problematic computer like it should. But 5% of the time, Windows 10 gets stuck, apparently just before it should give me the login screen. I see the windows logo above the 5 white balls chasing themselves around a circle, then the screen turns black. So far it looks normal. But then it goes back to the previous screen with the logo and balls going around a circle. It stays there forever. I need to reset or power off my computer. If I then boot up and run Windows 10, it works fine.
I haven't been able to nail down what triggers this hang.
Today it happened at the scariest time. Win10 pulled down a bunch of updates that required a restart. I restarted and got the hang. I cycled power and it came back up running, and finished the update install, as if nothing had happened.
I'm thinking maybe I should reinstall. My boot files are on separate small partitions. Maybe I should somehow reinstall that.
