i have two other possibilities at hand, that do not involve two SSDs:

  1. don't use intentionally broken software in the first place ;-)
  2. use another device for bootloader, could be a readonly CD or a usb drive, PXE/bootp could also do it.

And if your company wants you to use rotten software, they also want you to give them the delays, downtimes and annoyances that naturally come with rotten decisions, just keep that in mind.

Here is one thing to remember and why i call it rotten software and rotten decisions:

Microsoft offers a free "blame the ransomware people" to any CTO who just wants to receive money without working at all or not having to "think" during work. That same CTO can get a bonus after "solving" the ransomware issue and then: "look how 'invaluable' that CTO is to the company" he "worked" for month ( yelling at engineers he previously told to install rotten software???) and resolved the ransomware issue!! This is same to those who work. no law has ever given people that many payed breaks from work as "rotten software" vendors did. and if you made a mistake and did not get trained before, you could blame bot beeing trained.

Look at it from a "fingerpointer" point of view, one cloud always blame someone else for everything and the only one to blame is too big to fail and also untouchable due to their army of darkness lawyers. thus anything happened? no one could be guilty AND be held responsible. Also if one is slow at work, and so is his OS, obviously easy to blame someone else again.

so microsoft offers a "solution" to "boss wants you to work more and quicker" but remember, that same boss only "needs" a cover for his own ass to be able to point to someone else and the ones creating the rotten software do deliver that ;-)

i do not know any better wording for such a situation than "rotten" thus i name it so.
