I'm planning to buy a new PC but want to transfer my existing hard drive into one of the bays so I can use its existing data (games etc), but I do not want to use it as the drive with my operating system on anymore.
Is there an easy way to do this? Will I have to configure the bios? I will probably get my PC pre built for me to come with a Windows 10 install, but what will happen when I add my current hard drive to the mix... will the bios be configured to know to not try and boot up Windows on my current hard drive and instead boot on the new one?
Also, if I launch Steam and try to play a game from my current drive, will this be problematic because I will be accessing a Windows directory on the drive my computer isn't actually running the OS from?
In essence I will have Windows 10 on 2 hard drives... the existing hard drive I have now and the new one. Could this cause problems and how can I get around them?
