Two different windows users on different hard drives?

[riksy]

This might sound like a really stupid question, but im going for it anyways. I share my PC with my brother who has a ton of stuff and games. Is it possible to get two versions of windows on the same PC? I have two hard drives, one already has windows 10. Preferably csgo, I dont want his csgo files interfering with mine, because im pretty sure he does some sketchy stuff on that game. We do have different steam accounts what so ever. I mainly don't want his very shady csgo files interfering with my clean ones. I think he might have some skin changer stuff, not sure if he has hacks though. Anyways, just asking this for safety purposes. :^)

well possible yes but very complicated to use because then you always would have to go into the bios and change your boot driven and then boot the pc...
Only way I could think about where it works fluently is a pc with drive bays that you would switch befor booting.

Just set him up as a seperate user. Install csgo and all that, and revoke his admin priveledges.

Just make sure you change your password regularly.

Or...if you want to go that unnecessarily complicated route. Just set it to ask where to boot from at startup.

Third option would be to setup win10 on some flashdrives. And have each of you have your own.

Just unhook the other HDD, install Windows to the 2nd HDD.
Once finished setting up the 2nd OS, power down and connect both drives.
Then you select your default boot drive in BIOS. If you want to boot to the other HDD on boot from time to time, use the boot options hotkey.

This seems like a easy way of doing it, I am on the PC most of the time, I actually own it, but im nice and let him use it. Any videos I can see to run windows 10 from a flash drive? all he plays is csgo.

Ill bring one up next time on desktop. Stay tuned.

If you're the main user though I'd recommend just making a seperate user account without admin priveledges.

It has the bonus of being absolutely free too.

Right, but our csgo files wont interfere correct? Im almost 90% sure he cheats, I am trying to get him to stop!!!

setup an OS on a slow flash drive? well if you dont care for speed or minutes for booting go ahead...

They make flashdrives specifically for it now. My neighbor has one that's just as fast as a solid state.

It'll run you a good $50-60 for one though, You don't want to run your os on a cheap dollar store drive

Setting up a separate user account is the way to go as suggested. Anything else is needlessly complicating the situation.

Then you need to not share a PC with such people, period. It puts u all at risk.

Set the csgo folder to only allow admins to modify. Make a new user acc, and do not make it admin. Let him use the new acc

Problem solved. No cheating thatll affect your steam either.

install windows, games, and programs on hdd 1.
remove sata data cable on hdd1 and install another windows, games, and programs on hdd 2 for brother.
reconnect sata data cable on hdd1.

when choosing what drive to boot from, some mobo requires pressing function key (F8, F2, etc) so that a menu will appear what boot drive to boot from.

do not create another windows user account when you are not sure that the other user (brother) does not use cheat engines.
if steam discovers a cheat engine is used on the pc, you will likely both get banned.

You...can revoke the priveledge to install/use cheat engine.

I dont see why steam would ban him? If it was based on his ip hed be screwed either way.
It was based on his mac it would be the same for both users.

Having another account with restricted privledges is the way to go.

i really need some video/forum post that will prevent me getting banned. not taking risk
