Hi,
Just replaced my OS (Win 8.1) Drive, and was planning on using the old drive as a back up.
This new (and old) drive have just the OS, all my programs and media etc are on other drives.
Can I put my old OS drive, with Windows 8.1 still installed, into a USB Docking Station, and use it as a back up boot drive. In other words will this drive boot from the Docking Station if I keep it up to date (Copy Disk regularly) in case of internal hard drive failure?
Thanks in advance?
