I have one drive, 1tb with Pop_OS, and another, 500 on to which i want to install windows. (I know, I dont like it either but I want to play VR games via link cable cause ALVR is really mid) So, I put the ISO on a drive with ventoy, booted it up, got it all going. started to install windows on the empty drive. So, after the five steps it kicks me out of the installer and now, I can't acess the second drive. Even through moving the boot order on BIOS, it always loads me into pop os. The only time it ever didn't do this is one time where it seemingly randomly gave me boot options, two of which were Pop_OS and one was "windows boot manager", which when selected turned off my computer and promptly i booted right back into Pop_OS. Can anyone provide some advice? TIA.
at this point i am considering uninstalling Pop and getting win10 first because linux actually has sensible ways to dual boot even on the same drive. that's probably what i'll have to do.
I swore off dual booting a couple years ago, but I do recall the order in which I installed the OS' did matter. So it's worth a shot.
i have done that successfully at the cost of my sleep schedule lmao.
