Well thanks for your help guys, I took the plunge today and installed it with EasyBCD and it worked perfectly! I'm dual booting W7 and W10 now.

Hey guys, so my BIOS doesn't support booting from USB and I don't have a DVD drive.. but I wanted to try out Windows 10 without messing up my current install. I found this tutorial: http://www.chrisite.com/storege/install_windows.php

Do you think this will work? I know it's dangerous messing with the boot sector but I doubt anything could go wrong.. or could it?

Already have it running on VMware Player. I want to actually use it as my system though, I really like it. But I don't want to overwrite Win7 as some of the older games I have don't work well with W10.
