cMP5.1 Windows different harddrive

[misanthrophy]

Hello,

I want to use Windows on a separate harddrive from my Mac Pro. Right now I do not know what the best solution is:

Install Windows over Bootcamp (Does that work for a different standalone harddrive and not just an additional partition next to the Macintosh HD?)
Install Windows with a bootable stick completely seperate. (but how do I get all the drivers work?)

I am running 10.13.6 with 2x 3,46GHz and 64GB of RAM.

Regarding the performance a VM is also possible, but I guess natively it runs smoother?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi!

I do have almost the same specs. I did a clean install of Windows 10 via a CD.
Removed all the other HD and only have an SSD or "tape recorder" in Bay 1.
Use a "Boot screen" GPU and choose "the CD/Windows 10"
When prompted to were to install? Delete all partitions and create a new.
Continue with the install
Get the BootCamp files 5_1_5640 and install those.
Reinsert the other HD in bay 2-4


But I have Parallels also. It works well and without any problem. I installed parallels on my NVMe 2.0 disk in PCIe bay 3

Best regards
