Two windows on one PC. Primary OS first, second OS for virus testing!
Two windows on one PC. Primary OS first, second OS for virus testing!
I know this is an old thread, but what you asking is exactly what I have been doing for years. Having 2 separate OS on separate physical drives (HDD/SSD/NVMe) rather than using virtual machines is the best way if you want to keep your main drive OS clean and snappy and the other for testing new drivers, software before you decide to install onto your main OS. As someone mentioned, drives will see each other, but only in explorer and disk management, they are totally isolated from one another. Having one drive to do on it test and avoiding craping your main drive has 2 major benefits.... If you are using SSD/NVMe, you are saving your main OC flash memory from wearing out and keeping your drive in tiptop shape and operating at its best. Virtual machines are OK, but tend to be sluggish, don't matter of your hardware, still sluggish. What I tend to do is! I use one of my NVMes as test drive and scratch disk, it's pretty much copy of my main drive with space for catch, but I also use Terabyte for windows and create image of that test drive before I install anything I'm testing, and once in a while I restore the image of that drive to ensure its always clean free from corrupted registry and drivers conflicts and while all working smooth on my main OS I don't have to worry about MS bad updates and dealing with fallout, this has been working for me great for # of years.
