I was thinking of following a previous comment's suggestion to install Linux first so it owns the bootloader, and then installing windows later

Ah, I already have a dual boot installed, but Windows is currently on the "best" drive while Linux is on a side drive. If I am switching to Linux full time, I would like to have Linux on the main drive and Windows on the side one :)

I get what you mean. I've been dual-booting Linux and Windows for a while now, and Linux has been great to me, honestly. It's just that since Linux was the side-partition and windows was the main one, I had doubts when it came to switching the hierarchy around. I got some great ideas here though, and thank you for your warning. I appreciate it :)

 

But I've got two doubts remaining.

Currently, I'm running Windows 11, but I'd still like the ability to dual boot for certain games which don't necessarily work with Linux for various reasons. Is it possible to move a windows install to a different drive and then install Linux on the main drive instead?

If yes, how do I do it?

Second doubt is if I'll have many issues daily driving Linux if I have an Nvidia card
