Partition a drive for dual boot?
Hey guys. Pardon me if my question is a bit dumb. I’d rather run it by you guys before taking any action.
Basically I would like to create a separate partition on an SSD for windows, as the system I use for gaming of course isn’t compatible with all PC games. League for example I’d probably need to use a Windows OS to run.
My current system is bazzite-gnome-deck, and I use it as a home heater PC.
I was thinking of getting an external SSD to use whenever I needed to, but I don’t know how well that’d work. Unfortunately I don’t have any more space for an internal drives. My case doesn’t support more drives, and motherboard doesn’t have any more SATA ports.
Do you guys have any suggestions? I have read a bit of the dual boot documentary, and it does advise only creating a separate drive before installation. So any advice regarding an already existing bazzite setup would be greatly appreciated.
