Add dual boot to Windows 10 laptop

[djib1946]

Hi everyone I have a windows 10 laptop with GPT format hdd. I am trying to add windows 7 as a dual boot. So far I have made a new partition in which to add the windows 7 os. I have tried to make a bootable usb with Rufus but the laptop will not accept it. Can anyone talk me through this process step by step please? At present Bios is set to UEFI

Hi djib1946 and welcome.

Have you tried following the PC World tutorial here?:

If you have a valid Product Key this Microsoft page will explain how to download to disc or USB drive:

You would need to turn of Fast Boot/Secure Boot beforehand so you can install Windows 7.
