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

So 'changing back' meant after using F12 provided device selection to
run W10TP a restart (or shutdown/restart) still allows the Bios to boot
to its default o/s - 8.1 rather than requiring the user to physically
'change' anything to boot 8.1
