Hi everyone,
I reinstalled Windows on my new Samsung 970 EVO I bought a few months ago, but kept my old Windows installation on a separate drive by unplugging the old sata SSD my windows was on during the installation of the new one. I currently can see and access the windows files of the old windows installation on that drive. However I am curious if it's possible to still boot into the old Windows installation on the old drive. I don't remember seeing a secondary boot option in the BIOS.
Are there any potential issues I should be aware of, like activation problems or boot menu configuration? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Note: this isn't really important, I just want to learn in case I'll need to do smth like this in the future where it'll actually be important. Also I might wanna see if there's any settings I'd like to port over to my new installation.
Thanks in advance!
