Hey guys, after 2 years since my last attempt (and recently trying fedora on my laptop) Im ready to try again to install it on my desktop. First time I installed Nobara and it nuked my windows boots partition which caused a lot of trouble and trauma (couldnt boot into windows no matter what). Basically I want to accomplish this:
1- I want to install Fedora on a separate drive and keep my windows drive completely intact (Need it for work).
2- Preferably I would like GRUB to ask which boot option I want to use if my linux drive is set to be my boot drive and to boot straight to windows if its my windows drive set to boot.
Can someone please guide me into installing it the safest way possible?
Yep. Installing on two different drives, make sure you go into your BIOS settings and set the new drive as the first boot target to get you a Grub menu on boot though.
and if I set it back to windows it will boot straight into it with no issues right (no GRUB)?
Yep! Grub should show you the Fedora or Windows boot options though, so you shouldn’t need to flop back and forth in the BIOS.
