When creating a dual boot, you usually only need to create that partition for Windows 10 and the installation process automatically creates the boot loader so you can select which operating system to boot into.
I do not know what changes you made already with EasyBCD 2.4, but if you are using EasyBCD 2.4 to edit the Windows boot partition, you should be able to use that to remove the current boot configuration and add back the Windows 10 and 7 installations to the boot partition,

What 3rd party software are you using?
Hello, Dave.
I created a new partition before installing Windows 10. I also used 3rd party software so that when I start the computer, it will boot from this disk without using USB drives.
Hi Dmitry,
I am Dave, I will help you with this.
What is the exact method you used to create the dual boot with Windows 7 and 10, did you use a bootable Windows 10 USB and create a new partition to install Windows 10 onto before you started the installation?
