Install second operating system?
Good morning,
my Win10 64bit system exhibits some strange behaviour and I would like to set it up completely fresh. However, in order not to loose the current setup for the time I am building the new system, I envisage to make a test installation on an external hard disk. When everything is working fine there, I would then remove the current system from the internal drive and copy the installation from the external drive there.
Is this possible with Acronis and if so, how would I proceed?
Many thanks in advance

Steve,
thanks a lot for your advice. I have, of course, a full Acronis backup of my current system. However, I wanted the system to continue running, while in parallel I want to take my time with the new installation. Maybe a dual-boot option might work. I will have to look into that.
Sorry for the duplicate topic, but I thought the first was somehow lost since I did not see the thread in the forum.

AQ, the delays in seeing new topics are due to Acronis moderating all posts from new users, which in turn has become necessary because of deliberate attempts by hackers / spammers to flood the forums with hundreds or thousands of automated new posts, which then render the forums unusable for everyone! Moderation typically is performed only on working days so users will see delays if posting at a weekend.
