    You’re generally safe if you 1) install them on two different disks and 2) if you’re installing windows later, unplug any drives you don’t want to use with windows. Microsoft likes to poke all drives it can see during installation even if you don’t touch them.

      So pretty safe if Windows is a priority install, and Linux is on a 2nd drive. Easy enough, thanks!

        Definitely. If you have a second one it’s very safe to try out a full Linux install.

        Two separate disks. The issue is that windows likes to overwrite or otherwise mess with the boot loader if it’s not the default windows one.
