Confused UEFI settings
I have win 8.1 pro currently installed in UEFI mode.
I have installed another hard drive and want to install Windows10 pro but use my win 8.1 as default.
My confusion on UEFI settings arises from the fact that when I installed Win 8 I set the OS Type to Win8 in UEFI settings.
Now when I install Win 10 - what do I set OS Type to - it can't be Win 8 so presumably it has to be "Other".
If I set to "Other" will this affect the loading of Win 8.1 pro?
What I ideally want to do is to unplug the Win 8.1 drive before installing Win 10 and then post install reconnect my Win 8 drive
and set first boot to Win 8. If I want to load Win10 I can press F12 and select the Win 10 drive from the list of bootable devices.
I have to say that having grown up with BIOS I find UEFI bewildering and so easy to make a mistake in the settings plus the fact that the drives must be in GPT format rather than MBR or whatever it is called.
