Yup

This is shit. But dual booting (on the same drive) has not been viable for decades. It inevitably becomes a mess. Just have windows on one drive and Linux on another if you can’t fully switch to Linux.

False. I’ve been using the same drive for years without issues. Just make sure you use separate boot sectors, and handle which OS boots through the BIOS boot manager, not some linked boot manager.
