[dopereff]

Hi.

Currently I’m running:

Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.13.12-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

My Manjaro installation in on my NMVe drive and I would like to install windows 10 on separate new SSD (never used before) so I can dual boot both OS.

Can you please guide me how to do this without f*cking up my system?

EDIT: I also have attached and currently mounted to my Manjaro 2TB HDD I would like to access on both OS.
