I think installing each OS with only one drive in the machine might help. That way, both will be fully contaned on their own drive (including their boot partitions and such). I’ve heard people say that makes dual booting much smoother. Then just make sure that grub can find Windows and have the linux drive as your boot drive. Shouldn’t have to remove any drives after that hopefully.
I’ll try that. Do you think it matters that I had the SSD in with this Windows install, and I can just remove the HDD when I try to reinstall linux? Or should I start from scratch again?
Also, this is my first time using a M.2 SSD, I assumed it would just be like using a regular SSD, but I don’t understand why even when I only had Windows installed it would only show up after fully shutting down and not when restarting. Is this normal behavior for a M.2 SSD, or did I mess it up when installing things, or did I maybe get a faulty drive?
