Windows 10: Can I have Windows 10 installed on two separate drives in the same system?

Hi, I have a PC with 2 drives. Drive 1 has Windows 10 installed. Drive 2 is a storage drive, but I would also like to install another copy of Windows 10 on it.

I unplugged Drive 1, installed Windows 10 on Drive 2, and everything was fine. Then, when I plugged Drive 1 back in, I could only load my original installation of Windows 10 from Drive 1. Even when I change the boot order, I just can't boot into the Drive 2 installation of Windows 10. As a matter of fact, I can't boot into even Drive 1 unless Drive 2 is unplugged. It just continues loading at the boot screen forever after the initial boot screen flash.

Any idea what I can do to successfully have 2 drives both plugged in and each loaded with their own copy of Windows 10 to boot/run/operate successfully? Thanks

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
