I just got a second drive because I want to try out Linux. Is it possible to install both Windows and a Linux distribution on their own drives, so I can choose which one to boot into?

Yes, you can do that! Just make sure you back up any important data beforehand. Also, take the time to read the installation documentation to familiarize yourself with the process. Here's a useful guide on dual booting: [Linux Mint Installation Guide](https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/multiboot.html).
Absolutely, it's quite straightforward! It's best to install Windows first and unplug that drive while you install Linux, but honestly, I've done it the other way around without running into issues. Just make sure to back up your data since it's easy to accidentally choose the wrong drive during installation. Also, check out rEFInd for a graphical boot menu that will help you select your OS. Not necessary, but it's pretty handy!
Definitely! That's actually a great way to start if you're new to Linux. Just follow the steps carefully, and you'll be all set!
