I am planning to install an additional internal SSD in a laptop running windows 10. I have purchased an additional Win 10 Home OS for the second drive and want to set up dual booting.
Will this work with both drives running Windows 10 with seperate licences? My intention is to keep both sets of files apart and secure. One drive will contain home files and the other office work and I plan to boot into the second drive at home for the family files. I understand the hassle of seperate booting but it'll probably be a mindful reminder to me ! Will the laptop treat the two drives as two computers and deny any access to the other drive? Should I not giving a name to the drive to hide it from disk mgmt or is it unnecessary? Is encryption of the drive itself also a possibility ?
Lastly, how do I really install the OS in the second drive considering that the main drive already has windows 10 installed in it ! Do I need to disconnect the main drive and use a usb to load the windows image to the second drive ? Will that work ? Any easier way than that?
Thanks for any suggestions chaps ! 🙂
