2 OS in seperate SSD's

[wolframkratos]

Hello

I bought another SSD to install windows 10 but i wan't my old SSD where windows 7 is installed to be encrypted from windows 10 because i don't like how windows 10 is spying. Is there any way to make my old SSD invisible to windows 10? Btw how can i adjust my computer to show me an option where i can choose between these 2 OS at booting.

If you boot from Windows 10 From the second SSD you should be able to see the First SDD just fine in "This PC" or "My Computer". You can dual boot from any SSD you just need to select which SSD to boot from during boot, there is a menu called boot devices you can access it by pressing "F9" during the boot...

Disconnect the drive wiht Win 7.
Connect the drive you want Win 10 on.
Install - How to do a CLEAN installation of Windows 10
Power off, reconnect the drive with Win 7

When you power up, interrupt the boot process and choose which drive you wish to boot from.

And Win 10 does not "encrypt" anything, unless you specifically tell it to.

Making the Win 7 drive actually invisible?
If there is not an option in the BIOS for that, your only recourse is physical disconnection.

Install windows 10 on the new ssd with no other drives connected.
After w10 is set up, reconnect your old windows 7 drive.
In windows 10, your old drive may be detected,; if so, uninstall it.
In your bios, you will probably have to use legacy options and disable smart startup for windows.

At a cold startup, usually, F12 will take you to a bios boot selection menu,
There, you should be able to select whichever device you want.
