I have just built a new PC with a clean install of Windows 10. I would like to be able to occasionally access my old operating systems (Vista & XP) from my new PC.
Windows 10 is on a new SSD. Vista and XP are on separate partitions on an old HDD with a dual-boot in place which I have installed in the new PC.
I don't really want to set up a tripple-boot on start up as I will mostly just use Windows 10 and only rarely use Vista & XP and could do without the extra screen every time I log in.
I have tried booting from the BIOS directly to the old HDD. This brings up the dual-boot screen but on choosing either the Vista or XP options I get a BSOD and the computer reboots and goes straight to the Windows 10 loading sequence.
Is anyone familiar with this situation? What are my options (if any)?
Any and all suggestions gratefully received.
