I want to add an older HDD in my PC as a secondary.
I want to transfer the data from the old one to my new HDD & then reformat the old HDD & use it as a backup.
Thing is, the old HDD had a different OS on (I also want to retrieve the product key for it before I reformat it).
So when I hook up the older HDD to the sata cables & then start my PC. What will happen?
Will I get an option to choose which HDD to boot or will it automatically choose my current new HDD as my main one & start normally like it always does?
This is my motherboard btw.

Not sure if how to get into the bios or what to change if I even need to go into the BIOS that is.
