Hi there,
I have in my laptop two hard drives, one with windows 10 (primary use), second one with windows 7 (for specific hydrographical survey apps that cant run under windows 10). Both partitions fully bootable, but I need to avoid the need of restarting to switch in between windows versions. Now, I cant have a virtual drive, because some peripheral functionality is not stable over the virtual interface, and cant work like that while acquiring information.
Could it be posible for me to virtualy boot the windows 7 drive, from virtualbox running on my windows 10 drive?
Like opening my bootcamp drive from the OSX (not my case right now, but have done it before).
Thanks very much in advance for your comments on how to get this done... should be a way...

See this: Windows 7 in VM and native. Take good backups: there's great possibility of hosing your whole PC if you do something wrong.
