Joined two Win installed in boot menu, one seems to "depend" on other
I'm not sure that I'm describing this right, so please help me out with the description if necessary.
I have two Win 7 installs that I plan to upgrade to Win 10. Each is on a separate physical drive, one SSD and one HDD. Thanks to good advice in this forum, I used bcdboot so that both of them are included in the same boot menu.
OK, so my TEST install was active and my PRODUCTION install was not active. Or so I thought. As an experiment, I changed the drive letter of the PRODUCTION install from C: to K and Windows complained, saying that Drive C was being used.. And then Skype shut down. (Huh?)
So what happened?
My goal is to have two (... or three) Win 10 installs that are all included in one boot menu for convenience, but which should be isolated from each other. That way, I can do experimental downloads and general testing without messing up my PRODUCTION install.
