[HELP] HowTo: Dual Boot (HDD & SSD)

Hey!

I bought an SSD drive and cloned to replace it with my HDD but unfortunately couldn't open my laptop coz of a single tiny screw below CD-ROM stripped. So i installed the SSD into the optical drive using a caddy. Is there any way to run windows from my SSD? I'd prefer cloned or even freshly installed windows with current screw-screwed situation :(

Please help!

laptop: Inspiron 5565

OS: Windows 10

thanks!

Most likely not -- very few of the caddy adapters can be used to boot the system.
