This sounds like a nefarious question but it's really not. I have a work laptop and I need to get some personal planning done after work tomorrow. Naturally I don't want to carry 2 laptops or run the laptop on the internal hard drive for personal use, but going back home and out again is very inconvenient. So my question is - would dual booting via an SSD (that I already use on another machine) leave any trace on the internal hard drive?
Honestly, I don't expect this to ever be a real issue, I doubt anyone will ever check or even care, but I just want to keep my work stuff entirely separate from my personal stuff. So if there's a fair chance I could muddy the two in any way by doing this, I won't - but it's my understanding that dual booting would be more or less adequately secure?
Windows 10, presumably 11 as well, doesn't seem to care about being moved to new hardware. Usually you just get the "please wait while we get ready" type of screen and it just works. Obviously game ready device drivers for graphics hardware could interfere, some laptops don't have great firmware for switching between a low power GPU and dedicated GPU without some specific drivers that Windows can't manage to automatically resolve.
