Ive watched all the "tutorials", formatted a USB drive with the install files and booted from it, tried the same for an SD card, and a partition on the 1tb HDD with no luck. I want to keep Windows 10 on the computer with games installed but some applications I need for school arent compatible, hence the Windows 7 attempt. Im trying to install it (somehow, someway) on a partition of the 1TB HDD but no BIOS option, driver update, boot method, external device etc seems to be capable of doing this. I am having trouble even finding a way to boot from this hard drive anyways, as the BIOS naturally has no boot order option for the two hard drives inside the machine that I could find. I cant even seem to activate the partition I want to boot from in Command prompt either so Im not sure if Im doing something wrong or out of luck. I can provide more info if needed, just looking for suggestions. And for those curious, yes I tried a virtual machine, but it didnt run fast enough or well enough (yes I tinkered with settings) for what I want

I peeked at several yes, but not only have I not even had the chance to install Windows 7 I cant find a boot order/access to both hard drives anywhere in the BIOS or Boot menu. In the F12 boot menu I can see info on the second drive but I cant boot or load it

Cannot see any of the photos you have included. Security feature of this forum.
Did you follow tutorial on dual-booting Windows 7 with Windows 10 when Windows 10 was installed first?
