Question Dual Booting ?

[RaresCacat]

So like i have a paid Windows 11 Pro Edition license and i used it on my pc but i was thinking about dual booting. Is it possible to use the same license for the second one?

On the same pc?
You can have as many instances of same windows OS version as you want - as long it's on the same pc.
You can't run more than one OS simultaneously anyway.

Legally - MS allows one backup OS copy.
But technically you can have as many as you want, if you have appropriate storage capacity for it.

Yes on the same pc but like the 2nd win 11 pro will have the license activated like the first? or will i need to buy another or use cmd

Windows license is tied to motherboard.
Same motherboard - same license.

Yeah, you can.
I don't see much point in what you're trying to do, but you can.

Just be sure you have only ONE drive connected when you install each OS. Physical disconnection of all other drives.

And the reason you can't use that same OS for everything else?

for network latency hunt, there are registry tweaks which do help with low latency, but on the other hand it lowers bandwith, windows by default is configured for high bandwith, high latency, not even talking about system latency/timers in favor of lower power

because it strips some functionalities of windows

those type of tweaks i wont apply cus they lower my download speeds to much and i alr got a ping of 20 which is pretty good

As said above, yes, you can do this.

Do it on 2 individual physical drives, with only ONE connected when you do each OS install.

And don't be surprised if after all your tweaks, your FPS is not magically better.
