Windows on another drive.

[PartyWire]

Hej, I was wondering is there anyway possible to Copy My windows to another Drive While still having my windows on this drive and the other drive?

You can make a duplicate of your C:\windows directory onto another drive, but you won't be able to boot from it, if that's what you are asking

I want it to be bootable.

You can clone the drive with something like Norton Ghost or Clonezilla, but you are cloning the entire drive and everything in it, not just the windows directory.

You may run into license issues with windows and have to purchase a new product key. I did this when I worked from home to save time with drivers. 

I would have my work drive and my gaming drive. So nothing effected the other and if I do anything silly, it wont effect my work.

I cloned my baseline and then booted to it and changed my windows license with a new one.

If this is for testing purposes, VM is much easier and safer way to go.

You cant run the same Windows License on multiple machines. So if thats your goal, your not going to have a good experience.
