Q: Installing windows on second internal drive
I've just started taking a course in datamatics, and therefore I need to get my hands on a windows computer for class. I currently own a 13" 2011 Ultimo MacBook Pro
I have previously changed my old HDD with a SDD, for better performance and with great results. Instead of buying a new computer as resolution, i figured i can buy second SSD and a SSD-adapter to replace my super-/disc- drive(*). Basically i thought, that I could install the new SSD, and download Windows 8.1 from Microsoft's online store, and install that on the new SSD. But i am beginning to worry, if I am going to run into any complications with the installation of Windows. If I download windows on my "old" SSD, will it not be able to install on the new one? Or is Bootcamp just gonna consider the two SSD's as one, and not have a problem transferring the installation package between the two of them?
*The SSD-adaptor included an external superdrive-casing that ultimately turn my disc drive into an USB-device. check the link:
