What's new

Multiple Versions on each own drive?

I have 24H2 26080.1 Canary on the C: SSD, what's the easy way to install Dev, Beta and PreRelease Client on other SSD's and dual, triple, quad boot? Each version has a dedicated 1TB SSD .. Would I have to start with Canary, then install Dev, Beta then PreRelease ("always moving up") ? Remove the other drives so I can install it to the specific target drive?

So far no issues, but Update is installing 26090.1

It seems to me that this not a question about Windows 12, but about Windows 11.
Besides that: there are not many people looking here to give advice for problems with Windows 12 (because Windows 12 is not there until now).

So I would advice you to post your topic in the ElevenForum, where you seem to have an account as well:

In spite of all that....
If you're wanting to have several OS's on the same computer, (I have three) but on different HD's or SSD's, it's always best, from a Safety standpoint, to only have the drive you're installing to connected at the time of the install. Then you can always use the Boot Menu key (F12 on my PC's) to select which drive you're going to use at any given time.

Using a different HD/SSD for each OS, precludes the OS's from mingling or futzing with each other.

Welcome to 12 Forum.
