Installing Windows 10 for two PCs on same SSD

I have two (2) PCs with completely different hardware (motherboard, CPU, graphics card, etc).

Let's just call them PC1 and PC2

What I would like to do is install two versions of Windows 10 on the same SSD, one for each PC.

For example, the first partition on the drive would be for PC1 (install windows, drivers, etc.) and then the second partition on the drive would be for PC2 (install windows, drivers, etc.).

I just need to have this configuration for about month and then I plan to delete the Windows 10 install for PC2 and just keep the install for PC1.

I was just wondering if this is possible or will this cause some issue because each PC had different hardware.

Thanks in advance for any advice/tips.

    You need to create two separate partitions to install two copies of Windows 10 on the same ssd.
