@RojoLoco Finally you get it!
You know they will take your baby away if you don't keep pedantically reminding everyone on every thread of the minutia of the agreement.

Dual booting is a management nightmare. How often is the secondary OS updated? Who the fuck knows? When the user finally uses the secondary drive, they have to spend 2 hours installing updates.
It makes no sense from a management or productivity standpoint for the user.

From an msp standpoint it makes a ton of sense for billable hours.

In fact, dual booting makes it impossible to update at the same time!

If you're going to dual boot, from the same drive, you'll need to partition it and install the 'new' OS on the second partition... or maybe restore to dissimilar hardware from backup.
Then you'll have to fluff about with the Boot tab in MSconfig.
You might already know all of this, but I didn't see it in my scan of the thread.

How would he even license this?
As long as one of the Windows 10 copies is retail rather than OEM or he gets two OEMs for the same hardware...
Right there is basically no issue here. WTF with this thread.
