Not sure if this is a “me-issue” or if this is Microsoft being a dick. Am I not supposed to dualboot with an external drive?
minus-squareWIZARD POPE💫@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 months agoAfaik most guides suggest setting up linux after windows because of some bootloader stuff. So if you already have linux installed I would suggest setting up a virtual machine if you don’t need running windows on raw hardware.
