Two Windows 8 on one SSD + partition loader. What do you advise?

Question

Windows

You need to put two Windows 8 in parallel on one SSD so that you can access both Windows through some kind of partition loader.

Another condition is that a clean image of Windows 8 will be deployed to the first of the partitions from time to time in Acronis or Ghost.

Answer 1

What does the native not like? And the second instance can be installed in vhd, simplifying the task of recovery and isolating systems.

Answer 2

Small active partition for Grub and 2 for Windows. Only the figure eight silently creates a system partition of 300 meters, I don’t know if it can be abandoned.

Answer 3

Thanks everyone for the advice :)
That's how I solved this situation.
1. Created 2 sections (both primary and equal in size).
2. Installed Windows 8 on the first one.
3. Cloned the 1st partition to the 2nd.
4. I went to the 1st partition (since it is active at the moment).
5. Launched command line as administrator.
6. Executed the command "bcdboot c: \ windows / s G:" (where G is the partition with the second Win8). As a result, boot files were copied there.
7. In Disk Management, I selected the second partition as active.
8. Rebooted.
As a result, the system determined that it was possible to boot from different partitions and displayed a choice - the standard Boot Manager:

(example from the Internet)
Now there is a choice. And if you have a choice, it's always good :)
