It is feasible to have multiple installations of Windows on a single hard drive, and there won't be any issues in doing so. The common method to achieve this involves partitioning the hard drive, such that each Windows installation receives its own separate partition. Upon starting up your system, a boot menu will show up, from which you can choose the specific Windows version you wish to boot.
As an alternative, you have the option of installing Windows on a virtual hard disk, specifically into a VHDX file. The benefit of this approach is that there's no need to partition your hard disk. The additional Windows installation resides within a file. This makes the second Windows installation not only flexible but also easy to remove if needed
