I have two 1TB hard drives, one acting as my ( C: ) drive running Windows 8.1. I have a second hard drive which I want to install Windows 7 Pro on to. I understand that when installing multiple Windows OS on to the same drive, then the older OS should be installed first. However, I am hoping that by installing Win7 on a seperate hard drive, then it will format the partition as NTFS and not conflict with Win8.1's GPT format.
If this is possible then what will the situation be when choosing which OS to boot at start up? Will I be choosing an OS from Win8.1's boot menu or what?
