I have upgraded my 32-bit XP System to Windows 10. Before making the upgrade I made XP Backups as follows (my XP System was on a multi-partition Disk):
- Complete Partition Backup using Acronis.
- Complete Partition copy using Partition Magic.
Win 10 is running well, but I I want to Dual boot my old XP system because I have some driver issues and 2 apps which will not run on Win 10. Most website instructions specify a complete XP re-install which, with all the XP updates, would be lengthy and tedious. Could I simply create a new partition then either restore my Acronis backup OR copy back the XP Partition with Partition Magic.
If so, what else would I have to do to make it dual boot e.g. change boot.ini or other.
