I have a win 10 box I need to run win7 for some older programs. I have a All in one disk with all versions of win 7 32, and 64 bit. I made a partition in a extra drive for win 7 but when I try to install it, The program states it says windows had a unexpected error and can't complete the install. I assume this is because of windows 10. I have the os on a cd and copied the files to the hard drive partition set aside for win 7 and I get the same error. any suggestions?

This is a bit tricky. You can find lots of stuff and videos to run multiple windows so i suggest you to google it definitely you find lots of tutorials for doing this...

More than likely your issue is that your hardware just doesn't support Windows 7. Why not just use the Hyper-V feature and install Windows 7 on a VM?
