I’m not an expert at this, so take this with a grain of salt, but I’m running windows 11 and linux on separate drives at the moment with separate bootloaders on their respective disks and everything seems to be fine, but I’m not sure about how it interacts with potentially upgrading windows versions.

I’m pretty sure as long as windows keeps its own bootloader on its own drive then it shouldn’t interfere with linux at all, as even if it did update without permission it would still use that bootloader. But as I said I’ve not had experience with windows updating entire versions.

If you’ve currently not installed windows, I would disconnect your drive containing linux first to ensure it doesn’t try to share the boot partition on that one, as that’s an issue I ran into when setting windows up. I had to wipe my linux drive after it messed up my backup snapshot stuff on linux because of that, and had to manually create a new partition on my windows drive and copy its boot files to resolve it, don’t be like me.

I hope that helps a little, I’m sorry if it doesn’t fully answer your question.
