I have been planning to install Kinoite on my laptop, dual booting with Windows.

However depending on what I read online, it is either not possible, not recommended, tricky to setup or it is just a matter of setting partitions up before installing Kinoite. Broad range of opinions and no good “tutorial” how to do it.

Anyone having direct experience with that?

    Most stable for me was 2 OS drives 1 storage, sorry it’ll have to be Windows file system.

    I’d recommend getting into your bios and disabling features that push windows as it won’t give you the choice to also take the Windows OS drive out of primary.

    Install windows first on one OS drive, then Linux on the other.

    rEFInd used to be the bootloader I used and stopped windows messing about with the boot.

    What’s the need for Windows? Is it something you can virtualise?

      I highly recommend the same. Fedora on one, Windows on one, and a shared NTFS drive. There are a couple of Windows ‘features’ to disable, like fast boot, that don’t play nice with the storage drive.
