Get Total Orders placed in the particular category when querying Order details

I have a orders table that have order detail and the column named Category where Category is the type of order.

Now the customer can search the order details.

Now what i want to write a query the show the order details and a column called TotalOrder that will show the TotalOrders placed by all customers for that category,

Example Say the Order Table like

OrderID  CustomerID  OrderDetails Category   
1         1           test         A1
2         1           test1        A2
3         2           test3        A2
4         3           test4        A2

So if query for the order id 1

It will result like with Order ID 2

OrderID   Cust_ID     OrderDetails  Category      TotalOrdersInThisCategory
2         1           test          A2            3

This scenario is a demonstration of the actual problem.

How can i achieve this?

Do i need to fetch the Order detail in one query and Another query with group by Category clause and then make a inner join. Any better ideas is appreciable.

The order details will have few millions of records.

Please Suggest Some Better Title of this question

Any help is appreciated

SELECT 
  OrderID,
  Cust_ID,
  OrderDetails,
  Category,
  (select count(*) from orders where category = o.category) TotalOrdersInThisCategory  
FROM
  Orders o

or you could try this:

SELECT 
  o.OrderID,
  o.Cust_ID,
  o.OrderDetails,
  o.Category,
  c.TotalOrdersInThisCategory  
FROM
  Orders o
INNER JOIN (select category, count(*) from orders group by category) c
        ON o.Category = c.Category

You can try this and see if it runs better:

SELECT *
FROM (  SELECT *, COUNT(*) OVER(PARTITION BY Category) TotalOrdersInThisCategory
        FROM OrderTable) A
WHERE OrderId = 2
