My SONAR "end of life" contingency plan involves doing a fresh W10 install on a new C Drive.
However, I'd like to maintain my *current* C drive so I can continue to work on projects.
( Swap new drive, do my installs, swap back to current drive when it's time to work. Switch to new drive when all is configured and good...then clone the new drive and stick it on a shelf if ever needed)
I've never done this dance with a Win10 OS. Previous Win installs had a 30 day grace period before having to register the OS with the mothership. This always gave me time to do installs but still work on current drive until the new one was working well.
Anyone who's done this, please advise on any gotcha's to this plan.
( I won't do many 3rd party plug in auths until the drive is pretty much ready to go, so I think I will sidestep those issues.)
