Hello Team,

Greetings from Intel!

Thank you for contacting Intel with your inquiry. I would like to inform you that RAID 1 (Redundant Array of Independent Disks, Level 1) is a data storage configuration that mirrors the contents of one drive to another, creating an exact copy or mirror of the data. This provides redundancy and data protection, as both drives hold identical data.

For our better understanding, could you please share the system configuration details and confirm which application or tool you are using to configure the RAID.

Please feel free to respond to this email at your earliest convenience.

Yes, you can replicate the Windows 7 operating system from one drive to another, typically by cloning the drive using third-party software. However, Windows itself doesn’t support dual OS booting directly without a dual-boot setup. You’ll need to use software like Macrium Reflect or Clonezilla to clone the Windows 7 drive, ensuring that your hardware is compatible with both OS versions on the same machine.
