Is this possible please:

To have two SSDs installed in a computer at the same time, both with a Win 10 Pro OS on them?

Want to have both disks installed with one at the top of the Bios as my main boot disk. The other in the Bios in the second (or disabled) boot order.

Then using Acronis clone disk - every few weeks clone my operational disk to the backup one.

If my main SSD disk then ever fails I go into the Bios and change the boot order, so very quickly am up and running again.

I would run a separate backup schedule to another disk somewhere to back my data up, so won't be relying on this for backup up, but only as a quick way to recover and get running again in the event of a disk failure (which I experienced reciently).

Just wanted to make sure I could have both disks installed at the same time, both with an OS on them, in the configuration above before I go and buy them.
 
I do the same thing but I physically connect the back up hdd about every 3 months or so.
Can't see any reason why you're set up shouldn't work tbh.

If you want resilience/high availability, just use RAID 1. You're doing separate backups anyway.
