I'm running Witcher3 smoothly on Windows 7. I have Win10 installed, dual boot, on a separate drive. Anyone know if I can just set up a Win10 shortcut to the Win7 data drive and run Witcher3 in Win10? If not, can I download a second copy of Witcher3 to the Win10 storage and run it from there? ( I know I'll lose saved data).
I'm assuming I'll shortly move to Win10, but I don't want to leave Witcher3 behind.

I think you have to install the game on Windows 10 before you can start it. (If you have problems (missing dll-file) starting the game install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4. You need the 64 bit one for Witcher 3 (but just install both).)

For the savegames just copy them to your Windows 10 Witcher 3 savegame folder. The one of Windows 7 can be found here: C:\User\Username\Documents\The Witcher 3\
