  1. Installing windows on secundary M.2 SSD with dual boot and being able to reverse it later.


    Hey there!


    So, I have a notebook from work running linux and I've been able to run windows from an external hard drive with an old hdd I had, but now I want to install a SSD M.2 drive in the computer so I can install windows on it and run things properly.

    I know how to create a bootable usb uo install windows on the ssd and create a dual boot aystem, my doubt is if this process is revertable.


    On my current setting Im using windows by choosing the usb option at the boot order when turning the computer on... So im not really changing anything and if I dont plug the usb external the computer will boot directly from its hard drive, I guess this will be diferent once I install the m2 drive and then windows on it, It will not be based on boot order anymore and i'll have a dual boot system...

    What I want to known is how can I revert it if needed be?


    If someday I had to change computers or send this one back, how can I revert the dualboot scheme as it had never happened? Is it possible?

    I guess just removing the ssd m2 drive wont work to restore the system original boot system.. right?


    Can someone help? ;

    :)
