I am building a new PC. I want to run Linux and windows on separate SATA 2.5/3.5 SSD hard drives. I need windows (Winn11 Pro) for work. Linux will run all personal computing needs.
I have a horrible history with dual booting Linux and windows (grub getting murdered).
I currently plan to shut down the PC, switch power to the drives, and start up on the other OS.
Can i use a switch which only toggles power to each drive while keeping data cables attached to accomplish this? Will this be possible with windows on one drive?
Is there a smarter solution?

Thanks!

Why are you so concerned? No im not the founder, just one of the first employees they hired of the few we have. FWIW I’m under no obligation written or implied to approach this device as anything other than a personal pc on which i also conduct work.

Cheers, doubling down on the question threw a flag XD
