This is my post from May 2019 pulled form old Newbie Corner.
I added a 500GB HDD to my desktop computer and installed Manjaro XFCE on it, the installation set up ask where to put GRUB bootloader I selected the same 500GB hdd I installed Manjaro on. I have Windows 10 installed on a 250GB ssd and two storage hard disk drives. When I turn on my computer, I hit the F11 key for boot menu and select the 500GB hdd to boot from for my Linux, or my 250GB ssd to boot Windows 10. I have not had any problems running both operating systems on the same desktop pc. Since I am new to using Linux, I wanted to know if it is ok to do it this way since I have seen so much talk about running two OS’s on the same pc and dual booting. I no this may be a silly question for most of you, but I need to know if my setup is ok. Thanks for any help. I also did the inxi -Fxz command and copied and pasted the information below as was recommended when asking a question.
