Dual booting is a management nightmare. How often is the secondary OS updated? Who the fuck knows? When the user finally uses the secondary drive, they have to spend 2 hours installing updates.
It makes no sense from a management or productivity standpoint for the user.
Two opportunity to get a BSOD after a update.

:crazy_face:But at least you don't have to update them together.

In fact, dual booting makes it impossible to update at the same time!

If you're going to dual boot, from the same drive, you'll need to partition it and install the 'new' OS on the second partition... or maybe restore to dissimilar hardware from backup.
Then you'll have to fluff about with the Boot tab in MSconfig.
You might already know all of this, but I didn't see it in my scan of the thread.

The F12 option works for the client. We advised them this is a silly way to do it, but they have their PC now and are happy.

How would he even license this?
As long as one of the Windows 10 copies is retail rather than OEM or he gets two OEMs for the same hardware...
Right there is basically no issue here. WTF with this thread.
