  1. Dual Boot Windows 10 and 11 while sharing settings


    Is it possible to install both windows 10 and 11 and tell them to share some settings/files, eg the stuff determining which apps are shown in the apps & features list, the desktop shortcuts and layout, taskbar, startmenu, autostart apps, etc. so i can switch between the two installations and just use them like it would be the other one? or is that done automatically? i understand that some might not work due to windows 10 and 11 being different things windows 10 would stay as my "main" installation -> if there are disadvantages, the windows 10 preferably experiences less of them

    :)

    Dual Booting with Windows 8.1


    The procedure below will allow you to boot Windows separately or in dual boot configuration.
    Here's what I recommend to do:
    1. Disconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    2. Install Windows 10 with one drive connected.
    3. After step 2, reconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    4. Boot up Windows 8.1. Open disk management and take a note of the drive letter of Windows 10 OS.
      NOTE: if you boot up Windows 10, then take a note of Windows 8.1 drive letter
    5. Open Admin command prompt and type: bcdboot X:\windows where X: is the drive letter of Windows 10 (Windows 8.1 if you boot from Windows 10 in step 4)
    6. Reboot the PC. You should have a dual boot screen.

    NOTE: To break off the dual boot setting, Win+R->msconfig->boot and delete the none default entry on the list.
