    Can Windows 10 be installed on the second disk in the computer?


    In my desktop computer (with Bios), there are two hard drives (both recognized by the Windows installer as "primary", MBR-style partition tables, 1863 GiB capacity each). No matter what I try, I cannot get the installer to install Windows 10 onto the second disk (the first disk is too full). I have even, during the first steps of the inst, used Diskpart to create custom partitions according to Microsoft troubleshooting tips, but to no avail, unfortunately.


    How can I make the installer do its job?


    Thank you.

    :)
