Dual booting with windows running on the same box? Sooner or later windows WILL destroy the other system.

That or you'll get into an argument with UEFI/Windows/Bitlocker.

I've been dual booting windows/arch for almost 1 years now. Except the rare case that windows fucks my grub and I have to mkconfig again it'd been smooth sailing.

Good luck. And I'm not sarcastic.

I have them on the separate nvmes and I disable Linux nvme before I boot into windows.

Last time I accidentally inserted encrypted pendrive I use in Linux when my windows was booted, it immediately offered razing the partition to the ground, creating a new one and quick formatting it. Very helpfully "OK" was preselected. If I was a bit more tired I'd be a bit sad.

Windows is intentionally hostile to anything non-windows. Enjoy your dual booting while it lasts :)
