Bro wants OS on new HDD...

[Jason]

Couldn't really find a clear answer that wasn't ancient, so yeah, I'll ask on here for the sake of my brother:

Basically, his computer is running Windows 32-bit, can't remember which version, y'know, home premium or whatever, and he's wanting to buy a new HDD to put Windows 64-bit on and use as his primary drive, but still keep the original HDD with 32-bit... not sure why lol.

I've not had to do this since I've been running 64-bit since release, an extra external HDD as storage, yet I'm still running out... too much porn!

So yeah, basically what he's wanting to do is install a new HDD with a new OS without it interrupting his current HDD and OS.

I don't really care enough to help him, but I'm posting on here anyway so you guys can help lol

Yay, nay?

Might help, I dunno http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/wind ... -multiboot but either way it shows it's possible.

Not sure why you'd want to do it, you can run programs in compatability mode anyway.
