Default Windows 7 & 10 on one machine?

On an Asus motherboard, you enter the BIOS setup screen (UEFI BIOS)
and set the OS Type to "Other OS". This effectively treats Windows 7
the same as Linux, no support for Secure Boot. (Linux actually has
some sort of shim scheme now, and this "Other OS" idea existed before
the shim method was known.) The Other OS setting enables both
Windows 7 or Windows 10 to boot, without entering the BIOS
constantly and fooling around.


I have a pretty recent GigaByte MB. Hoping it was more long lasting than
Asus.

Setting it to Other OS makes no difference. If I set it to boot from the
Win7 SSD, I get the same error as Bert. Even with the other HDs (etc)
unplugged.
