    Boot 2 copies Win10 Pro in Separate Partitions?


    Is it possible to install another copy (same edition) of Win 10 Pro on the same physical drive in a separate partition. I tried doing it and ended up clobbering the first install. I'm running the current update (5/20/18) of Win10 with UEFI operational. I have downloaded the Win10 installation file to a bootable USB. Is what I'm seeking possible; if so how do you do it? And does it violate MS's copyright agreement? Thanks for your help.

    :)

    WIN10 /WIN7 Dual boot, WIN7 forced to upgrade to win10, now I can only boot to Primary WIN10 drive

    Could I actually keep two copies of WIN10 and boot them separately on two separate drives?

  3. Issue with dual booting Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview

    Original title: Win10 Pro Insider Preview

    Has anyone had Win10 Pro Insider Preview install itself on a HDD that already had Win10 Pro on it? This has happened to me. I dual boot 2 hard drives. One had Win10 Pro on it and the other was Win10 Pro Insider Preview Evaluation copy. Build 11082. I upgraded
    from Win8.1 to Win10 Pro on one and installed Win10 Pro Insider Preview Evaluation copy. Build 11082 on the other. Tonight Win10 Pro Insider Preview Evaluation copy. Build 11082 is on both HDD's. How is that even possible?
