If Windows 7 SP1 was installed first in a HDD or SSD, and if Windows 10 was installed second in another HDD or SSD, a boot menu should appear when you start your computer.
It will then allow you several seconds to select which operating system you want to boot to and use.
I stopped using EasyBCD a few years ago because it can easily corrupt or destroy the boot menu.
No, the repair guy installed win 10 first on separate hd. Perhaps that is why BCD only sees Win 7. So then, i guess i have to go back to the bios boot again to make a choice. Does this mean that I have to reverse the installation in order to use a boot loader other than the Bios? BTW, according to my main OP, I did a system restore back a week and now, keeping my fingers crossed, no Chkdsk, no problem with Win 7.

All 4 of my full-time computers have 2 separate SSD's.
Windows 7 SP1 is in one and Windows 10 is in the other.
Depending on which operating system I want to use, I select it from the boot menu during startup.
I've had a few bad experiences with using EasyBCD, so I won't recommend it to someone who's not willing to do a clean re-install and start over if something goes wrong with the boot menu.
