    Instal Win10 on new Drive; Can I access previously installed programs from original drive without reinstalling them?


    I have a 64 bit PC.

    I have win 10 and several other programs installed on a single drive, C. (I save data to D).

    I would like to introduce a third drive, 'E', say, install win 10 and boot up from the new installation.


    Question:

    I don't want to have to reinstall several other programs which are already installed on C. When the new installation is complete and updated for Win 10 on 'E', can I run the programs installed on C from the Windows UI?


    Many thanks in advance,

    John

    :)

  2. Win10 Preview install problems

    Trying to install the Win10 preview. I've created a 50 Gb partition on my primary drive for the install. When I try to install 10, I get a error saying 10 can't be installed on the drive. The drive is of the GPT partition type. From what I've read, I need to convert my drive to a MBR partition type. The only instructions I can find about that involve converting the entire drive, meaning I loose everything on my main drive. Is there a way to convert just the partition I created for the Win10 install to a MBR partition type?
