Man i need to take the plunge but i don't want to screw with my games. Does Linux still hate dual boot? I fucked myself trying with mint a few years ago and spooked myself
Linux loves dual boot, windows is the problem and always has been. But as long as you install windows first and Linux second, there's no problem whatsoever, the installer detects your installation and automatically adds multiboot. Installing windows after Linux means that you will have to restore the bootloader.
Ooh, this might have been my mistake. Ill give it another shot
Are you confident opening up the computer and replacing the storage device (probably SSD)? Dual boot can't screw up much of anything when you only put one OS drive in at a time.
