Several OS Being Listed, Even If They Don't Exist? [Dual Boot] - AbsolutelySus - Dec 31, 2018
When you Dual Boot an OS you generally get a selection of your installed operating systems on your computer. I currently have Windows 7 & Windows 10 installed.
But when I boot I can see my very old version of Windows 7 still there in the options (Totalling 3 Operating Systems instead of 2).
Is there a reason this is happening? I am going to be fully wiping one of my hard-drives soon and I need to fix this so I can straight boot to the one OS I will have installed instead of a random broken one that literally doesn't exist.
If you need me to elaborate more please write below. I am seriously struggling with this.

The entry still exists as part of the boot config. You can delete it by booting to the repair command prompt and using the BCDEdit command. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/bcdedit-command-line-options
