I'm trying to figure out an issue I'm having with connecting to Xbox servers and I would like to try it on a fresh install so I was looking a making a dual boot both win 10. I know the basics but I'm not sure afterwards, can you easily remove the dual boot or you need to setup some things after?

I have found the repartitioning after removing one OS hard to do.

Main System: Phobos

AMD Ryzen 7 2700 (8C/16T), ASRock B450 Steel Legend, 16GB G.SKILL Aegis DDR4 3000MHz, AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB (XFX), 960GB Crucial M500, 2TB Seagate BarraCuda, Windows 10 Pro for Workstations/macOS Catalina

 

Secondary System: York

Intel Core i7-2600 (4C/8T), ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3, 16GB GEIL Enhance Corsa DDR3 1600MHz, Zotac GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB, 240GB ADATA Ultimate SU650, Windows 10 Pro for Workstations

 

Older File Server: Yet to be named

Intel Pentium 4 HT (1C/2T), Intel D865GBF, 3GB DDR 400MHz, ATI Radeon HD 4650 1GB (HIS), 80GB WD Caviar, 320GB Hitachi Deskstar, Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows Server 2003 R2

Sure, you can install the same OS on two different partitions. I've just had bad experiences with trying to get rid of dual-boot setups before.

Yeah just did it's like any other dual boot, for some reason I was thinking it was different.

 

My issue is resolved, so I know my issue is some kind of setting, it's connectiving to the Xbox servers for Xbox App games... it's blocked. Tried so many things with microsoft support. I tihnk I'll just keep my other OS for Forza only lol.
