    Can I install Windows 10/11 on a new SSD, while keeping my original install on my HDD and...


    Hello!I am planning to upgrade my system mobo/CPU/RAM. This will require reinstalling windows. However, I lack the space/access to back up my data on my HDD properly. Currently, I have windows installed on my 1 TB HDD, with a 512 GB SSD recently added to handle game loading.I am thinking that once I get my new system configration, I will also buy a 256 GB SSD and install windows onto this new drive while leaving the original HDD alone, then set BIOS to boot from the SSD.Will I be able to access my data on the original hard drive? Will I be able to install software on the original hard drive

    :)
