Yes, you can install two versions of Windows 10 on the same drive. You just need to create separate partitions or use a tool to manage multiple installations.

The drive works with MBR by allowing up to four partitions for Windows installation, and MBR itself supports only four. If it was formatted with GPT, the limit is 128. Therefore, yes, it is possible.

To determine if it's MBR or GPT, navigate to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management -> (something here, likely "local"). Right-click a disk and choose "Properties". Under the "Volumes" tab, in the "Disk Information" section, the "Partition Style" will indicate "Master Boot Record (MBR)" or "GUID Partition Table (GPT)". Having multiple operating systems on the same drive doesn<|pad|>, won't interfere with others.
