      Install Windows on a separate SATA drive so you can remove it later without repartitioning. Also it is easier to boot, just change boot drive on startup.

        Yeah I currently have Linux and windows sharing my only nvme drive because I wanted to use the fastest drive for the OS but clearly it’s causing issues. So I just bought a cheaper one that I will dedicate to windows, along with a sata SSD.

        Do you think I can get away with just wiping the partitioned drive and reinstalling both OS, keeping their data drives as is, since they are already each entirely dedicated to one OS ? Or should I do a full clean ?

          Sorry for late reply, Jerboa has forgot how to pull my profile data and messages…

          There is no issue using separate data disk for both systems. Just be carefull not to delete data from it during installation. I would detach it until everything is installed and then attach it and mount.
