I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Moderator here to help you.ġ) To keep each hard drive independently booting with it's own boot files, unplug the other hard drive when you install to the second one. I do not quit for those who are polite and cooperative. _ Windows MVP 2010-20 Millions helped via my tutorials and personally in forums for 12 years. You can restrict the User account from access from the other User account. Your files will be separate but you'll use the same apps as the other User on the PC. You can restrict access from the other drive by turning off File Sharing:Īnother way to do what you want is the create a second Admin User account on the same install at Settings > Accounts > Family & Other People > Other using your desired MS Account or making it a Local Account as shown here: Your files will remain separate in each drive just as if it was the only drive. If not then you can add the Product Key after install in Settings > Update & Security > Activation > Change Product Key. But since the PC already has a Digital or other License, I'd wait to see if it activates the other drive with that. Megan, yes it can work with separate license. Lastly, how do I really install the OS in the second drive considering that the main drive already has windows 10 installed in it ! Do I need to disconnect the main drive and use a usb to load the windows image to the second drive ? Any easier way than that? Will the laptop treat the two drives as two computers and deny any access to the other drive? Do I need to keep from not giving a name tothe drive to hide it from disk mgmt or is it unnecessary? Is encryption of the drive itself also a possibility ? One drive will contain home files and the other office work and I plan to boot into the second drive at home for the familyįiles. I have purchased an additional Win 10 Home OS for the second drive and want to set up dual booting.Ĭan this work with both drives running Windows 10 with seperate licences? My intention is to keep both sets of files apart and secure. I am planning to install an additional internal SSD in a laptop running windows 10.
