I would like to upgrade my Lenovo T460 laptop to Windows 10, but I have a lot of legacy apps on my current internal Window 7 hard drive that I need to use on occasion. This won't work in Windows 10. My questions:
After I install Windows 10 on a new internal SSD drive...
1) Is there a way to direct the boot drive to my current Windows 7 drive in an external USB case....without... having to wipe the drive and start from a new Windows 7 installation? Can I simply use is as is? If not....
2) Once Windows 10 is installed on a new internal drive, can I simply switch the drive back to my original Windows 7 (with apps) drive and run everything successfully without problems? Is there anything in the system ROM that would keep this from working?
I have searched everywhere for the answers to these specific questions and I haven't been able to find a straight answer.
Thanks,
tbeerski
