    Installing new OS on new drive


    Im going to be installing a new motherboard with new Internal Solid State M.2 drive which im going to install the OS on.

    Currently Win10 is on Local Disk C Drive on a Sata HD.

    Ill disconnect this drive first then install the OS on the new drive and im presuming this will create a new 'C Drive to install it on.

    What happens when i plug the old Sata drive back(as i want to then format and use as storage, but dont want to wipe it until im back up and running on the new drive)
    Will it give me 2 options on boot up or will one prioritise over the other?

    :)
