it is actually not possible with windows what you want - except you work with internet connection on a windows server.
but this will be slower as to have all local.


the one and only way is to have 2 similar laptops where you can easy switch the disc from one to the other.

i have done that before with 2 laptops where i took the DVD player out and placed a disc instead and booted from this disk.
on the other 2 internal discs i had a second windows what could be used for booting as well and a bit other stuff.
there is also a way to run windows on an USB stick but it will also be slower.

to change such a disc is quite easy (same as a stick) but the 2 laptops must be the same because of drivers etc.
