But I’ve got two doubts remaining.

Currently, I’m running Windows 11, but I’d still like the ability to dual boot for certain games which don’t necessarily work with Linux for various reasons. Is it possible to move a windows install to a different drive and then install Linux on the main drive instead?

If yes, how do I do it?

Second doubt is if I’ll have many issues daily driving Linux if I have an Nvidia card

    For ages I ran two SSDs.

    One had Linux one had windows.

    The reason is windows like to over write the bootloader when it updates (or did)

    So for me… I had the Linux SSD as the primary boot device and I had to select the windows device in grub to boot windows.

    It worked for ages and ages until I realized I wasn’t using windows anymore.

    Edit: I ran a 1060 Nvidia on Ubuntu / Manjaro / arch / Debian

    I never had an issue. Tho I use kde because waaaaay back in the day it was the only DE that wouldn’t screen tear.

    Edit 2: I wouldn’t move your windows drive… just add a second one

      Did the same for a while. Held on to a windows drive with dual boot and the only time I used that drive is if I was looking for an old doc or something I couldn’t find in my main or archive drives.

      I think it’s window 8.1 still. Lol.

      Anyway, I pulled it and it sits on a shelf now.
