The easiest way to remove an entry in the Windows 7 Boot Configuration is to use msconfig. 

To launch msconfig:

1.  Click Start

2.  In the Search text box, type msconfig

3.  Launch msconfig by selecting it from the search results above the search text box.

After msconfig is launched:

1.  Go to the Boot tab

2.  Select the boot entry you want to delete.

3.  Click the Delete button and then click OK.

Make sure to be logged in to the Windows 7 partition you want to keep when performing these steps so you don't delete the good installation by mistake.

    Thanks, Tony.  

    Worked perfectly.

    And there's no doubt which is the active partition when you're in msconfig.

    Totally unsatisfactory. I have TWO different HDD on my PC my PC is My (my own) Personal Computer

    and after an update (for WINDOWS 10) LAN is ruined further more  Windows 7 has been altered and Easy BCD

    does not store the right setting to get back (refere to) Disk wich has Windows 10 on it.

    I think i HAVE to denie all microsofts auto updates and interferrences with MY USE of MY Personal Computer,

    as Microsoft does not give a **** about what they are doing with customers Soft / and Hard ware.

    Good thinking but not good enough.

    Messing with BIOS settings is the new way to claim YOUR PERSONAL COMPUTER as if it was owned by Mr Microsoft

    HIMSELF.

    WAIT..

    WAIT a little longer and then see how technical feedback about issues concerning auto update ****

    has been welcomed ( i hate that word) by the community

    NEVER TRUST a computer to the internet !!

    always make sure YOU (in this case ME) is the one and only owner of a perfectly working system.

    NEVER trust Microsoft.

    Basta.. software..? Its awhore

    Superuser knows best

    Disconnect drive, make BACKUPS and RESTORE utils works at ALL times

    only chance of survival!
