Oh, I do both. My whole point was to avoid partitioning one physical disk to install both OSes on.

My current setup:

-Windows 11 installed on one NVMe. This is only for playing games that absolutely won’t work any other way.

-Pop OS on another NVMe. This is my main OS.

-Windows 11 VM in VirtualBox for work stuff and normal applications (Adobe…)

Proc is a Ryzen 5 9600x. Machine currently has 64gb DDR5 RAM at 5200mhz.

That’s effectively the same as what I described, is it not? The only difference is you’re using GRUB to choose what to boot into. It’s still a two disk setup with Windows separate from the Linux disk.

Can’t say I would recommend dual booting both OSes off the same drive. Windows causes too many problems. Put Windows on an entirely separate drive instead and boot to it by changing the boot device in the BIOS.
