Booting from USB stick or DVD
Imagine a computer where W10 is running on an SSD. I have a USB stick and/or a DVD which contain a bootable version of W10 (probably made from Microsoft's Media Creation Tool). After a fault, the plan is that after tickling F12 (in my case) the above bootable version could be selected and would run Windows 10.
Q1: Would that work?
I will need to test this even when the W10 on the SSD is running normally.
Q2: When I test this, would the version of W10 on the SSD remain unaffected (not overwritten partly or wholey) so that when afterwards rebooting normally (on the SSD) I would return exactly as I was before with programs and settings preserved?
(I am asking this because I am planning a recovery plan where the Windows on the SSD goes bad, as happened recently. When testing the plan, before any fault, obviously I don't want to mess my OS on the SSD which, at the moment, is running properly).
Thanks.
