    Dual-booting the same system image in two partitions of the same SSD


    Hi all!

    My laptop currently has two partitions: the Primary one & one storing files.

    Due to work, I'd like to create a new partition & install exactly the same image as on my Primary drive, which I'll tweak over time. My Windows is OEM, as it was installed by the manufacturer.

    Can I run into any issues upon boot? Which ones?Will the license work on two drives simultaneously?

    Thanks so much for your help,

    • Click on Create System Image on the left panel of the System Image backup windows.
    • Select the driver, where you want to create system Image.

    How Many System Reserved Partitions for Dual Boot Windows 10 System

    I've upgraded a dual-boot Windows 7 x64 Pro computer to Windows 10 dual-boot. The first system has a system reserved partition. The second system does not have a system reserve partition. So I repeated the clean install for the second system. Still no System
    Reserve Partition.

    What can I do to get the System Reserved Partition on this second system? I'm perfectly willing to complete the clean install again, but I don't think that will help since I've already completed the clean install twice.

    Any suggestions appreciated.

    Dual-booting the same system image in two partitions of the same SSD

    How to go about building a tri-boot system?

    i dual boot all the time, and going in to tri boot is easy.

    step 1) partition the drive in to 3 partitions ( leaving 1 empty for the linux installer. )
    step 2) install windows on the first 2 partitions.
    step 3) install linux, and let it auto partition the remaining space. ( i recommend at least 30gb of space for linux, because it will make things a lot easier. )

    step 4) enjoy.
