You need to specify a bit more.

Do you mean two installations of Windows on the same physical hardware?

    If so, that's easy; you just need to install it in a second partition.

Or did you mean two installations of Windows for two separate physical hardware (i.e. separate computer towers)?

    If so, that's impossible. Only one computer can access a single SSD at a given time. There is no such thing as a SATA splitter for data.

    I've heard of some enclosures which can emulate two drives using a single drive, but you'd have to format the drive and partition it; and in the end you'll lose quite a bit of performance as it operates as a USB enclosure and can't take full advantage of SATA speeds.

Desktop: HP Z220 Workstation, 12 GB RAM, 2x500 GB HDD RAID0, + GTX 1060 3GB

Laptop: ThinkPad T430, 8 GB RAM, 1x120 GB SSD
