      Yeah, that’s what I’ve been told.

      I’ll check if my lappy has another SSD slot, because if not, then… dual booting with a broken Windows installation is my only option.

        I had the same experience using a single hard drive. Two, ime, works flawlessly. Though i haven’t added windows boot to grub so i need to use BIOS to load windows, which is easy enough i haven’t bothered with grub. Your experience may vary based on BIOS.

          If I didn’t straight up delete my Windows installation (which contains important files), I would have to use MORE space just to run Windows on a VM in the Linux environment.

          If only I can just run the actual contents of my Windows partition on a VM, that’d be great.

              This is quite literally my only barrier to actually using Linux. If I didn’t have it, I would immediately take the chance to run away from Windows once and for all.
