multi-boot Windows 10 install questions
Currently I have XP Pro 32-bit, XP X64, and Win 7 Pro 64 bit installed on my system. Each OS is installed on a separate hard drive. The system has 4 hard drives (and 5 partitions per drive) and I've setup the 4th hard drive with empty partitions in case I decide to buy and install Windows 10.
I assume I'd have to buy Win 10 since I'll be multi-booting instead of replacing Win 7.
I had to install Win 7 from XP X64 in order to specify the partition I wanted Win 7 to be installed on and to prevent it from re-lettering the partitions such as re-lettering the Win 7 partition to C: (it's installed on N: ).
If I do buy Win 10, will I need to go through the same install method, install from either XP X64 or Win 7 Pro 64 bit in order to specify the install partition for Win 10 and keep it from re-lettering partitions?
I'm also wondering about partition size. Currently I have Win 7 installed on a 64 GB partition, and I install almost all programs on a different 512 GB partition (O: ). Would 64 GB be enough for Win 10, and if not what partition size should I use?
