I've been using Manjaro on my PC for around 6 years, and now I want to add Windows to the mix. I've installed a new SSD specifically for Windows, and I want to ensure that I can do the installation without affecting my existing Linux setup. What are the best steps to follow for a smooth dual-boot installation with the new SSD?

Just a heads up, always install over an ethernet connection if possible and remember to remove the installation media when you finish. This avoids potential boot issues later!
Here's a simple process to follow: 1. Start the Windows installation from your bootable media. 2. Proceed through the installation steps, and when prompted, make sure to select the right SSD for the Windows install. This way, everything should go smoothly!
To keep things safe, it's a good idea to disconnect any other drives while installing Windows. Windows tends to mess with bootloader settings and might install its bootloader onto the wrong drive otherwise.
