I want to take out an nvme from my old pc and install in my current pc as a 2nd drive, but the nvme has windows 11 installed on it and my current boot drive in my current pc has windows 10 on it, will this cause any issues if i install it before wiping the nvme?

Hi @benjamin41 

 

Welcome back.

 

Your PC may run the Windows 11 drive from the old PC when you start the PC after installing the W11 drive. It depends on how the Windows boot manager sees the drives.

 

It is not a problem but this could happen.

 

You might have to tap "F9" at startup. Then select the W10 drive.

 

Run W10. Then wipe the W11 drive or use partitioning software to partition and format the drive. I use Macrorit free portable (Partition Magic).

 

Regards
