  1. New PC ! I want to legally run a second bootable drive same PC


    Can I have two boot drives? One version WIN10Home with the new DELL PC, then I'll add a SSD M.2 with my new WIN10Pro License. Is there any conflict with this setup? Two Windows licensees, two drives, one computer. I also need to know if it's legal to run the same version of WIN10 on two drives on the same computer? TYVM

    :)

  2. Make second drive bootable

    Thanks guys. The first drive is actually now in another computer. I was trying to cheat to make the drive that was the second drive bootable. I downloaded Partition Wizard Bootable CD and was able to make it the primary drive, but that still didn't work since it had installed BOOTMGR on the first drive. Secondly, I'm short one DVD drive ATM. I'll have a new DVD drive here on Friday and then I will try newtekie's suggestion, mostly out of curiosity. It has 32 bit on it now and I'm going to give 64 bit a try. Anyone have the RC1 64 bit ISO?

    Make second drive bootable

    Hi,

    To play with 7, I installed a second drive and installed 7 there. The primary drive has moved on and I'd like to see if this drive will boot or if I have to start over. Any ideas on how to make it bootable, that is how to make the partition on it bootable? I need something that I can boot from a CD drive if possible.
