  • install windows
  • adjust main partition so you have space for Linux
  • install linux, during install create anither efi partition, and root partition.
  • linux probes foreign OS (some distros might not) and creates a chainloader entry from your new EFI to Windows EFI
  • set BIOS to boot from linux EFI

Windows never knows the other partition exists and leaves it intact.

Could you give me more detail for step 3?

[-] jose1324@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Don't even have to do that. Install windows first, then install Linux with refind bootloader on preferably a separate disk. Done

Did exactly that.
