Fundamental question

Now that I have moved (been forced to move?) into the world of Windows 10, I find that some of my legacy hardware devices no longer have the driver support that I had under Windows XP and even Windows 7. One of those hardware devices is a large format HP plotter that I would like to continue to use occaisionally.

So, I am looking to do a dual boot on one of my computers, Windows 10 pro and perhaps Windows XP (or maybe Windows 7 pro) with the older drivers to enable access to the legacy devices.

Will the free version EasyBCD facillitate this? I would like to maintain Windows 10 on the main drive and put the other Windows system on a separate drive.

How hard (easy) is this to do?

There are no limitations in the free version, only the stipulation that it's for home, not commercial use.
