I have done a dual boot in the past, like 20 years ago. I have not had a need for it since I have been using swap drives (pullout trays).

I will be buying a laptop soon and unfortunately, I will not be able to swap drives.

Should I just format the drive to have two partitions and then installed Windows 10 on both partitions? Will this automatically give me the dual boot screen or do I need to do anything else or additional software like Acronis Drive Manager?

Thank You
