I have dual boot windows 10 and windows 7 setup. windows 10 is the main system. windows 7 is a hard drive taken from old broken laptop. I used bcdedit to set it boot up. WIndows 7 Microsoft banner would come up for 2 seconds then system would turn off and restart. I wanted to see what was loaded on the system so I used windows 7 repair disc to make it start. The repair disc 'says could not automatically repair the system.. Then I restart the system.

Then the Microsoft windows blue flash icon would come but then screen turn black, system stay on, nothing happens, hit any key on keyboard, push power button on computer case, screen still black. the power button on computer case would not turn off system. this stay long time, about 20 minutes, then the blue boot menu come on.

The next time system restart.windows boot menu become windows 7 style classic menu.

The GUI windows 8 style boot menu is gone.

I looked through different websites, tried different commands. not fix. So I give up windows 7 and put windows server 2016 on top of it, hope to bring back the blue menu. But still same.

how to fix this?

first of all, if win7 came with the old laptop, you cannot legally install it in another computer per microsoft. second, since it is from another computer, you will have to reinstall since there are different drivers, different motherboard.
