Windows 10: Is it possible to bring back a Win 10 bootable HDD without formatting?

Hello!

I had to change laptops and swapped their hard drives and because of this, I had to install win 10 again using a bootable usb drive.

Unfortunately, I didn't have any usb drive with a decent size and I had to use my external hard drive (where I had some tv shows inside) for the bootable usb with Win 10.

Is it possible to make it a normal hard drive again without formatting (and not lose my original content)?

Thanks in advance!

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!
