Question tips / functions / methods to better manage 2 software on the same SSD?

[Grealish01]

hello, I have to get my PC and I need to have 2 software together on the same SSD (Windows 11 and Linux) how can I manage them together, do you have any advice? (I don't know, I was thinking about dual boot or other things) I'm not very expert on the subject, I accept any kind of advice about how to manage 2 software on the same PC.

Dual boot Windows and Linux?

First off, why?
What is the system used for?
What is installed now?

Install Windows, leave enough unpartitioned space for Linux. After that. install Linux, be careful where you install it, install GRUB, and use it to select which system tp boot.

thank you. So in this way nothing will be partitioned? that is to me it is enough to have a dual boot at the time of 'boot, and to avoid that one of the 2 software that I am not using at that moment works equally in the background.

If you install on new SSD/HDD, Windows will re-partition the drive with several partitions. You can later shring the C:\ partition and leave space for Linux.
