    Win 10 Parallel Installation - Win 8.1 in C: Drive & Win 10 in D: Drive

    Hi,

    I have subscribed to auto upgrate on 29th July. Currently in my laptop Win 8.1 is on C: Drive.

    1. Will I have a choice to install the Win 10 on E: Drive? I don't want to touch C: drive at-all.

    2. Will the installation steps ask me what customized applications are needed to be installed?

    3. The WiFi connection settings are fixed and passwords are all stored with Win 8.1; If the installation does not happen in the E: Dirve, will my setting be deleted in C: Drive?

    4. If the installation does not happen in E drive, do I need to remove all my data from C drive to other drive?

    Thanks

    Rishu

    How in WIN 11 do I change the drive letter of the CD/ROM drive?

    Thanks, Greg.

    So this is what worked, step by step.

    Reboot

    Drive is listed as E: in file explorer.

    Drive not listed in Disk Management.

    Insert DVD, it plays after short pause.

    Disk management now shows Audio CD as E:

    Right click, change letter to R: (while playing!)

    Reboot.

    Drive now shows as BD-RE drive as R: in File Explorer.

    The bottom line is

    - File Explorer does not provide for changing drive letter afics.

    - Disk Management seems to need a disk to be in the drive for it to "see" the drive. I can't recall is this is Win 10 behaviour

    I don't recall having any difficulty with this in Win 10 (its possible that the Win 10 default drive allocation was "after" my external drives; or I "just changed it").

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

    You can do this but it is a little trickier. Here is my advice:

    • If I understand correctly, you have 2 partitions at this moment: a drive C were your current windows resides and a drive D, probably with your files (this is also my setup)
    • The first step will be to create a partition for Windows 10 (cut part of drive D). You can do this in disk manager. If you don't know how, please ask and I will give you the details
    • Create a system image of your current Windows
    • Upgrade your current Windows to Windows 10 (you cannot skip this part if you want the free upgrade)
    • Restore your previous Windows to it's current location (partition)
    • Do a clean install of Windows 10 in the partition you reserved in step 2
    Windows 10 will see that you have another windows installation and add it to the boot manager. At this point you will be able to boot both Windows versions
