I have dual booted in the past using windows and Linux, i believe mint. I have technically used 2 drives in a computer, one to run windows 11 and another batocera. Though that one I would load via the boot menu. I've run various flavors of Linux over the years. Some just to see if they'd get an old laptop running. But currently everything is on separate systems, windows and Linux.
So now the actual details/question. I built both my nephews gaming rigs. They run windows 11 on ssds. Both have backup ssds for extra data storage. I want to install 2 more ssds in each pc. One with Ubuntu, one with Batocera. I've got plenty of room in the cases and on the motherboard. But I've never done something like this. Ryzen processors and intel graphics if relevant.
My idea is to put the ssds in. Then install via usb. But I'm not sure how to go about using a bootloader. Let's call os drives c,d,e. Windows is c. Ubuntu will be d and Batocera e. It currently checks c first. So should i have it check d first? And have d contain the bootloader? And which bootloader would you recommend? And I've never tried putting a bootloader on a drive with only 1 os.
Hopefully this is both allowed and Discussion is the right tag
