What does Windows explorer say? One is called C:/Windows and the other is named C:/Windows.old? Just delete the file .old

Thanks for the reply. If i delete the Windows old then i won't get two windows 7 while start up?

If still there are windows 7 while start up what i need to do?

I would guess I am not understanding your question. Are you asked which one you want to log into on start up? My thought was you had reinstalled 7 in which case the old one would have been put into a file called windows.old.

I just want to login into new windows 7 which was i installed now. but when system start up its showing two windows 7. That is the first one is new one installed now and the second one is installed earlier.

I have folder called windows.old in my hard drive.

My question is how can i remove the second windows 7 on start up?

The windows.old can just be deleted. Right click on the file and select delete from the menu and you will be good to go.

If you want to edit the boot loader, the best and easiest way is to download EasyBCD Its a boot manager and with it you can remove the second Windows 7 on boot up. Just make sure to remove the right one!
