This is meant to share with users who happen to be dual booting Windows 10 RTM and Insider preview.
That is what I have been doing.
My issue was.......
upon Restart, I was faced with a boot menu showing 2 Windows 10.
one has Volume 1 underneath, the other has Volume 2.
I had to remind myself that Volume 1 is the RTM, and Volume 2 is the Preview.
Most of the time, I had to stop momentarily before I could pick the OS I wanted to logon.
So, I asked at the IT forum. I wanted to know how to change the name in the boot menu so that I could tell which one I wanted instantly.
I was given a Bcdedit suggestion.
Trouble was, my head turned trying to figure out what it said.
I wasn't going anywhere with that techie stuff.
FINALLY , after googling like mad dog, I came across this .......EasyBCD.
So simple. Anyone can do it.

** I selected the Free Non-Commercial option at the bottom of the page. I needed to register it, but that's ok for me as long as the program is free.
Now my boot menu, upon restart, will show Windows 10, and Insider Preview.
