Windows 10: How to fresh install Win10 while old system is still bootable?

Hi all,

I found it hard to figure out a descriptive title for my question. Sorry about that.

The issue

Getting lots of Code: "Event 4101, Display issues. Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered."[/quote] Nothing I have done has solved this issue, so I figured I should just try a fresh install of Win10.

However, the task of installing and setting Win10 up to the way I need is a time-consuming process while I still require to work on my existing OS.

What I'm trying to achieve

Dual boot option where one is the existing OS that I can use to work on. The second is a new SSD that I want to freshly install W10.

Therefore, I have the following questions:

• I would like to buy a new SSD and install Win10 on it. Ideally, I want that SSD to be connected via external HDD/SSD device so I can still access my existing OS when I need via dual boot.
  
  The scenario is like this: When booting the PC, I can choose the new SSD and start the installation process.
  Finish installation, create my login and when I have time, I will use it to install all the software and set it up the way I need.
  When I don't have time to access it and I need to work on my PC, use dual boot and log in to my old/current OS.
  When I finish installing everything I need on the new SSD, install it permanently in my PC and retire the old SSD.
  
  Is this possible?
• I know that Windows will seek C: drive, but both new and old SSD can't have the same drive letter. Is there a way around it?
• Some games and programs are installed on a separate SSD. Instead of re-installing them, is it possible to have windows register them, thus save the download time of the games/apps?
• License - How can I install Win10 on a new SSD while my Win10 license is activated against my existing OS?

Hope I was clear with my questions.

Thanks for the help!

Multi-bootable USB

Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
3. MemTest86+

Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

Bootable Vista Installer

I have a friend who has a Vista Home Premium key (from the bottom of his laptop) and his HDD crapped out so he ordered a new one. His repair disks didn't work and neither of us have CD's with a large enough capacity to store the files we 'found' on the interwebz, so I'm trying to install it from a bootable USB.

I got up to the step where I successfully turned the USB into an active partition, but I ran into a problem the moment I needed to access the boot sector.

Can someone kindly walk me through the steps?
