So, i use linux, i don’t have any windows install on my disk, but someone wants me to install windows on their HDD, so, if i plug said HDD on one of my sata ports and try to install windows 10 on it, will it mess with my linux boot? if yes, is there a way to prevent that without physically disconnecting my main drive? (my main is an nvme ssd, that’s why I’d rather not remove it, already suffered enough trying to screw that in ther
Edit: Fortunally i got to convince the person to bring their whole PC, so now i won’t have to deal with this anymore! Thank you very much for all the answers everyone
When I used to dual boot I would just disconnect the Linux drive before installing windows. That way each disk had their own dedicated bootloader. Kind of annoying doing this just to install an OS, but the end result is good. Depending on your bios startup settings you can boot to grub, or boot directly to Windows.
