Agreed on this. Last time I dual booted Windows (some 10 years ago), the procedure was to first install Windows and then install Linux.

Afaik most guides suggest setting up linux after windows because of some bootloader stuff. So if you already have linux installed I would suggest setting up a virtual machine if you don’t need running windows on raw hardware.

You can set them up in either order, you just need to set them up separately by disconnecting the Linux drive (or the drive of any other OS, even a 2nd Windows install) when installing Windows. Windows needs to think it’s the only OS installed.
But yeah it’s probably simpler to do Windows then Linux, as Linux doesn’t care, so you won’t need to unplug anything.
