I was learning how to create a Dual Boot (Windows 10 and Windows 7) in a 250GB HDD.
There were two partitions in the 250GB HDD. I installed Windows 7 first and then windows 10. The Windows installation processes were successful and I could switch between Windows 7 and Windows 10.
But when I logged on Windows 7, I could see there were two main drives, one was C drive and the other D drive. When I double clicked My Computer in Windows 7, I could access the Drive D which Windows 10 had been installed, and I could see and access all the folders (Windows.old, PerLogs, Windows, etc.) in the D drive.

Does this mean that I have done something wrong in the dual-boot setup? Thank you

I believe the primary partition where you've originally installed the first OS does not hide the secondary partition by default. If the dual boot works and you want their respective OS to see their respective drive, you can hide the partition

In Win7 > right-click Computer > Manage Storage > Disk Management Right-click DriveD in the console > Change Drive Letters and Paths Remove the Drive D

To re-establish the connection to this drive while you're boot into the WIN7 OS, you can use the same step and Add Drive D
