[QUOTE="Tracer_Bullet, post: 2513602, member: 102285"] To repeat, mbr overwrite issues are no longer a problem with EFI. Unless this is an old system, it would be much better to use EFI/GPT instead of legacy mbr. EFI has its own extra partition and each os installs whatever it needs to in its own folder without overwriting other. Also, Resizable BAR/amd smart access memory requires new way. I use grub from linux to boot into either os. grub automatically detects windows. You may need to run update-grub once after installing linux. This way there is no need to select os from bios, i select linux as default in bios which loads grub which can load either os. Also, disable hibernation in windows or atleast [B]disable fast boot[/B]. Otherwise linux wont be able to read ntfs partition, or will [B]cause corruption[/B]. Fast boot does not flush stuff to disk i think. [URL unfurl="true"]https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_boot_with_Windows[/URL] [/QUOTE]
