I am contemplating installing via a hard drive caddy a second drive. Two questions: a) Can Win 7 be loaded onto a second installed, and b) How does the Macbook's bios handle it? I have a MacBook Pro 15 in produced in mid 2010 currently running OsX High Sierra. It's serial number is W8032647AGU.

I have a 2015 iMac running Mojave and I have a couple of operating systems on external drives, Windows 10 and Catalina. If I hold the option key when I boot the mac I am given the option to pick the OS I want to boot into. I did have to search around for some drivers for Windows but all is OK now.

Thanks for your reply. I thought that the Option key was the way to do it but was unsure.
