How can I install Windows 10 Pro in one M.2 SSD and then Ubuntu 20.04 in another M.2 SSD?

DaveMedan

I decided to just use two drive for two different operating system (Linux and Windows 10 Pro / 11)

 

After doing some technical difficulty 

How can i do this the right way, can i just install them on different drive?

 

or i swap out the SSD first, then install Windows for the new drive?

 

Thanks

The installers will show what drive is what, but IMO you should unplug the other drive when installing one OS, and then swap the two to install the other OS. Then add both SSDs once youre done.

This^^^

 

After you have both installed and both drives installed boot up into Linux and run

sudo update-grub

in terminal, it should discover the Windows install and add it to the GRUB boot menu so you can boot either.
