It senses the competition....
I had this setup 20 years ago. Tried Linux, looked back once because I needed something from the then still unmounted windows partition, dumped the microshit partition 3 months later.
Fuck windows
Cheryl Blossom? Anyone?
I had so many issues with my (less than legitimate) windows install kept nuking itself and the drive it was on, I bought a cheap small SSD that has literally nothing but windows on it so whenever it goes fucky I just wipe and reinstall. It's a total time of like an hour going from "shits fucked" to "everything is pretty much how it was before".
Tip, just make a seperate EFI partition for Linux. That way, garbage Windows installer won't be able to fuck up your install. Altough this assumes you're running a non-shit EFI mobo that looks for things to boot in every partition.
I have the opposite problem. I don’t often boot to windows, but when I do, BitLocker is not happy that I’ve been talking to another operating system.
