So, i use linux, i don’t have any windows install on my disk, but someone wants me to install windows on their HDD, so, if i plug said HDD on one of my sata ports and try to install windows 10 on it, will it mess with my linux boot? if yes, is there a way to prevent that without physically disconnecting my main drive? (my main is an nvme ssd, that’s why I’d rather not remove it, already suffered enough trying to screw that in ther

Edit: Fortunally i got to convince the person to bring their whole PC, so now i won’t have to deal with this anymore! Thank you very much for all the answers everyone

    Nothing terrible. Worst case it screws with your grub boot. While annoying you wont lose your data, of course as long as you install to the right drive. You’ll have to re install grub from a live Linux disk and you’ll be back in business.
