WIFI troubles while dual booting

I have set up a dual boot scheme on separate hard drives in order to test Windows 10 is a safe environment. Windows 10 is not installing properly so for now I am running 2 copies of Windows 7. Wifi works well on my primary drive but does not respond on the secondary. Iphone says "cannot get mail", for example. If I return to the primary drive it, too, is no longer working. So apparently I must set up 2 different signals but I am not sure how to do that. Your thoughtful replies are welcome.

Hello LeeRex

 

When you installed Win7 on a second partition to test windows 10 did you make sure you went and got all the up to date drivers for your pc before your tried to upgrade to win 10? Also you may want to try and do another fresh install of Win7 on the second partition the win 10 upgrade may of corrupted something. Hope to hear your feedback.
