How does that work with having say 2 copies of the same OS (Win) on the same computer? On 2 separate drives? If I have the game on one does the kernel access affects both or just one? Obviously I'm not an expert but I actually want to give a game a try but I'd not install just on its own as is. Apart from buying an other PC or waiting an eventual console release I wonder what else can be done

You can only have one running at once, so presumably the game simply won't run if it's kernel-level countermeasures aren't in place.

If you install Windows on two separate drives, each copy of Windows has its own kernel drivers, so the Valorant installer would only install the driver onto the drive you were currently using. As far as I know, you can't install multiple copies of windows onto the same drive (barring partitions).
