Answer 2

Dave . . .

I'm not sure I can boot, from the USB drive. I'll have to go, to D. And search out, the USB drive. That should work?

How do I get, to the screen. You're showing, above?

Do you think, that will work?

Thanks again . . . Jerry

Answer 3

Hi Jerry

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

If you insert the USB into your PC, then boot from that drive and install Windows 11 on the D drive, that will automatically create a bootloader that would give you the choice of which operating system to boot into when you start your PC (see image below).

At the start of the installation, click the 'Custom Install Windows Only' button on the window with the two large buttons.

On the next window, ensure you select the partition that is the D drive and click next to begin the installation.

Answer 5

97GB is a bit tiny. Its possible even with 60GB but it doesn't leave much room so you have to keep at things for space reason.

However, during the Windows installer, just use custom and select the D drive. That's it. It will dual boot and bring up a selection screen on reboots.

But, you should backup image the c drive at the very least in the event things go wrong such as looking at it incorrectly and wiping it out :-D

Also too, you may need Windows 10 fully setup to be compatible with Windows 11 and the BIOS settings if you didn't already or if it isn't already.
