Installed Win10. Now thinking if I should write rant about it. It was like MS doesn't want me to install Win10. Now everything is almost working. I need to wiggle my hard drives around at some point. Backup is D at the moment when it should be E or something else. Not quite sure if disabling and booting without it helps.

You can assign drive letters in disk management by right clicking on the partition > change drive letters and paths.

Honestly not sure why you said that, if I had to install Win7 from scratch today (RTM DVD) I would first need to install 400 updates and type in my serial code. I don't need to do any of that on Win10. I do hate the preinstalled apps though that are forced through my throat.

I have working Win7 on another SSD. Which might have been part of issue. First I got bootmgr issues so that I couldn't boot into installed OS (Win7 booted fine). Had to remove all other drives to get installation working. Then had to set some odd setting in BIOS to UEFI first to not have installer warn about SSD. After finally landed on desktop, the backup drive was nowhere to be seen (was only left enabled since it has all installers and settings). Small issues, boot to BIOS and enable other drives. Yeah, right. Win10 didn't boot. IT WAS ONLY BOOTABLE THING IN QUEUE!!! (DVD drive was there too, but nothing in it). Had to do some super odd fixes. I mean, normal bootrec things I had tried few times before. Now suddenly they seemed to work as next boot gave me option to select between OS (when 2nd SSD still wasn't in boot queue). Now things are somewhat working.

On other hand I'm really happy that my Win7 key works fine. I was bit worried as its been 2 years since I registered it for Win10.
