Dual boot Win 7 32 and Win 7 64
I'm hoping you can clarify my suspicions.
I have two separate physical hard drives. I have win 7 32 on one. I'd like to put win 7 64 on the other to see if it's good for me. If it is I'll get some more RAM and do some video editing etc.
Now, is it simply the case that I can install the 64 bit version on a spare hard drive, and then simply tell the bios which hard drive to boot from?
Or do I have to worry about managing two separate OSs and dual boot bla bla bla. Since they're on separate physical drives I was hoping just to do it from bios and not have to worry about anything else.
Also, how does the system know which drive is the c drive? When I installed a new SSD drive recently I just unplugged the SATA cable from the old drive, and then the new drive became the C drive by default. Is the C drive named by the SATA port (eg port 0) or is it to do with bios boot order?
If anyone can clarify the above points on a 32/64 dual boot I'd be mighty grateful. Thanks a lot,
