Hi running W10 on C&D drive's SSD's looking to run Linux also for browsing and the W10 drives for Gaming.
Whats the best way round it? as i know W10 thinks it's the best and throws it's dummy out when challenged! with the over writing of partitions etc.
One odd thing found other day also was when my SSD/windows had a hissy fit went back to boot screen and couldn't get it to boot so put old W7 spinner in but then PC asked if i wanted to boot into 10 or 7 how would it know that if no other drives present? had me thinking is 10 writing into bios?
One other way thinking is to use a sata HD switching unit like the lian li one thats fits in 5.25 bay so connected to drives then select which drives want powered up before boot up.
So that way don't have to connect/disconnect leads or messing with selecting in bios?
Would that work ok?
