I am going to buy a new Win8 PC and will want to dual boot it with Win7.
Since I already have all my Win7 files and applications on a separate hard drive, can I simply add that drive to the new PC and have Win8 recognize that there is a second OS and create the dual boot?
I know I can install Win7 as a dual boot but would like to avoid having to re-install all of my applications etc since they are all self-contained on their own drive.
Is there an easy way to get the Win8 PC to recognize and set up a dual boot simply by adding the old drive to the new system?
