I have UEFI PC with two windows on different disks and I am successfully dual booting and have been for a good while now.
To date I have managed the two systems separately, manually updating System 2 with any updates previously made to System 1. But this is a time consuming process and I would like instead to simply clone my System 1 windows partition to replace the System 2 partition every so often.
My question is with the BCD already setup to boot system 2 can I just delete and replace the system 2 windows partition with the system 1 windows partition ?. Or do I also need to also need to delete the System 2 BCD entry and re-create it with bcdboot ?. I assume that there is nothing else to do.
I could just try I guess but I would prefer to confirm here first that this isn’t going to cause any problem. Id prefer not to get into UEFI & Boot problems by wading in with my seven league boots on !.
Thanks In Advance
