Hi
I have a HDD and a SSD now installed on my PC. Windows 10 is on the HDD and there is no operating system installed on the SSD as of today. I would like to know if I can have two operating systems on the same PC and on separate drives.
Windows 10 OS - HDD
Windows 07 OS - SSD
If there is any possible way that I could do this, would anyone be able to teach me how to?

Fresh Install, probably OEM key from registry
So I'm trying to wipe my computer and do a fresh install of windows.
I got the PC second-hand, so I didn't put the install of windows on it.
I got the product key from the registry, there is no sticker. This might be an important detail.
Windows tech support guy says it is a valid key, but might be OEM or something, and directed me to download from the MSDN website, which doesn't seem to...

What does "RTM" installation mean?
I read occasionally about RTM installation DVDs.
I think its the abbreviation of "Ready-to-manufacturing"
What does that mean in detail?
Is this a pre-release?
Or something like a special OEM version?
Can I activate it "as usual"?

setting up new 850 EVO SSD-AHCI and cloning questions
I'm installing a 500gb samsung 850 Evo SSD and want to clone my current setup on my 500gb platter hard drive to it.

Windows running off two separate drives when booted.
Hello,
Recently I bought two SSDs and attempted to transfer W7 from my HDD (E:) to SSD (C:) using the clone feature on the program EaseUS Todo Backup. I made an exact clone and now when I attempt to boot from the SSD it states that it is not a bootable drive. When I boot from the HDD, however it boots properly.

Fresh install on new SSD with Windows 7 still on previous HDD
Hello
I am going to be installing Windows onto a new SSD. The HDD I am using now is running Windows along with being my main storage device.
My question is: can I remove just Windows 7 from my HDD and keep the files on it? Or do I have to take off all my files and start over?
Side note: I don't know if it matters, but my SSD is an 850 EVO.

Get rid of Win 10 icon after uninstalling KB3035583
Hi,
I've just installed Windows 8 on a laptop, and the Windows 10 icon showed up, as it does. Usually, when that happens and I don't want to upgrade to Windows 10, I simply uninstall KB3035583. And it works, although I need to hide it from updates so that it doesn't bug me.
The problem now is that I've already uninstalled this update and the icon still shows up. Actually, the installer...
