    Installing Windows 10 in Multi-OS systems and systems ith multiple HDD


    I think I asked this question about a decade ago and IIRC, the answer back then was "You can't".

    I manage a dozen systems. I upgrade them once a year to the H2 version of Windows 10 after about 3-4 months testing. Sometimes I just have to reinstall Windows for other reasons, or to get a fresh start. The testing process itself generally results in a dozen or so clean installs.

    Every time I install I have to pull apart systems, remove all SSDs (All are M.2 NMVe - and some under the graphics card), and disconnect all HDDs so that Windows will put the boot sector on the same drive. There are also times when the install will crash, tell me "Windows cannot be installed on this hardware" and a multitude of other issues, all of which are mitigated by removing drives.

    This is a major PITA. Surely they is a better way?

    If I could force Windows to always put the boot sector on the same drive I'm installing to, that'd be a start. Is there a way to do this?

    :)

    Best OS for old P3 System?

    Hey, I have an old P3 800Mhz, 256MB, 20Gb HDD, system with no OS installed.. I know its old, but it still works fine and it'd be a waste to toss out... Any suggestions as to what OS i should install on it? Something other than boring 'ol windows... *Roll :roll:

    Thanks in advance..

    Windows 10 multiple system login crap! [Solved!] Thanks to Kursah!

    Okay, so, I have multiple systems that have windows 10 installed.

    Now my main system, the one that I'm on at this moment, uses a password for security purposes.

    When I install windows 10 on another system and try to use my account for store items, I end up needed to use my personal system password!

    Is there a way that one can use your main account on other systems without using the password?

    I would be okay with using the "pin" that one can set up but I don't even know how to go about that once its on the main account?

    Jeez, any help would be very much appreciated in this matter! *Respect :respect:
