Benchmark drives

I've always wondered how Linus and his team make those hard drives with Windows installed work with multiple systems--mostly in their build logs and benchmarking tests. Is it just a drive with Windows installed but no drivers? After benchmarking, do they simply uninstall the drivers?

I want to build a rig, but I'm not a gamer.   :mellow:

You are referring to latest server video? I think its like you put it. They have few drives with just OS installed, no drivers, and switch them around. But for full benchmarking they need more than just basic drivers.

Yep. Based from the server video. I'm thinking of having one as a backup or for troubleshooting. Since I also take care of a couple of laptops/computers at home, I thought it might be handy to have a drive with OS in it that can work with multiple systems. I did some search in this forum but all I found is how you can transfer your current hard drive to another system.
