Same here. I have Windows 10 on a separate physical disk (sdb). I have Linux and GRUB on sda, so Windows has no idea that it’s not the only OS on my computer.
Only dualboot with windows on a separate drive, that hasn’t given me any issues in the past 5 years or so

Just make sure to unplug all non-Windows drives when installing Windows. Otherwise it can do weird things like making unilateral decisions on which exact drive it shoves its bootloader on. I’ve wiped my Linux drive when changing to another distro aaaaand the Windows bootloader was gone too. It really shouldn’t have been.

Yeah whenever I set up a computer with dual boot it’s always Windows first, then Linux. Windows assumes it’s the only OS that exists so if there’s something else there it just ignores it and writes over the boot thingy. Linux actually bothers to look for anything else that’s installed and works around it.
