I have 2 hard drives in my pc one hast win10 on it and the secind one has win7 as win10 made my pc slow and i had to restart often. The problem I'm getting is that when I boot win7 up the desktop and everything is different. I cannot run any programmes nor games as it is all on the other hard drive. I was wandering if there was a way around this to get all games able to run on the win 7 ,thanks

Depends on a program/game, with some you can find all the parts that were installed on the old disk and copy them to appropriate places on the new one. Some may need transferring or changing registry settings to match old ones but all of that is too complicated and is much easier to reinstall them. If you find old game saves they also may be able to be transferred to same place on a new system drive.

This is correct, aside from games that use a launcher, like Steam, Origin, Uplay..., Anything you want to run from a particular OS needs to be installed on that OS also.

For the games that use a launcher, you just need to add the location of the games to the launchers library (after u install the launcher).
