Asked By TechSavvy92 On

I'm really over Windows and want to switch to Linux as my main OS, but I still need Windows 11 for specific Autodesk programs and some games with strict anti-cheat measures. I already have one NVMe drive with Windows installed, and I want to use another empty NVMe drive for Linux. Is it possible to set up a dual boot system where I can access and edit files on the Windows drive from Linux, and vice versa? Also, both of my NVMe drives are 1TB, and I'm using an Nvidia GPU.

You can create an additional NTFS partition on your M.2 SSD and mount it in Linux. This will let you share files between both operating systems. Alternatively, using a network drive or external USB drive for file transfers is a good option if you want to keep it simple.

Absolutely, you could shrink your Windows partition, create a new NTFS partition on that drive, and then mount it in both Windows and Linux. It's pretty straightforward! Also, for secure boot, using sbctl can make that easier. It's more simple than you might think.

Yes, this setup is definitely possible! The easiest way is to either use external storage or create another partition on your current NVMe drive. If you decide to partition, you can make an NTFS partition that you can access from both Windows and Linux. This way, you can easily share files between the two systems without any hassle.
