I use a desktop.

I purchased a low cost 64 gig ssd and have installed win 10 on it.

It eliminates lots of hassle.

I do have to go to the bios to change disk priorities before
installation
and change back afterwards.

With my Gigabyte motherboard F12 give me the boot options

I also have another low cost SSD with Ubuntu installed on it.

I play with Ubuntu when bored.

Why do you have to switch back after shutting W10TP down ?

Did you install W10TP to the 64GB SSD while your original drive was
still connected ?

Yes.

I changed the boot option in Bios to Sandisk before inserting the DVD


- If you didn't is your bios not capable of selecting an alternate
bootable o/s device without changing the default bios setup ?


After the installation I have reset my bios to boot into win 8.1 after
installing 10

If I want to test win 10 I will press F12 when booting and it gives me
the boot choices
DVD uefi
DVD
Disk x - - 120 gig samsung (where I got win 8 installed)
Disk xx 64 gig sandisk ( win 10)
Disk xxx 64 gig adata (Ubuntu)
Disk xxxx 500 gig (my backup disk)

I am not using UEFI

HS.

When I installed Win 10TP I left my main Win8.1 SSD drive connected and
installed to a seperate SSD.
Now when the system is booting it gives me the option of using Win8.1 or
Win10TP, no mucking in bios or F12 needed.
