Only dualboot with windows on a separate drive, that hasn't given me any issues in the past 5 years or so

Just make sure to unplug all non-Windows drives when installing Windows. Otherwise it can do weird things like making unilateral decisions on which exact drive it shoves its bootloader on. I've wiped my Linux drive when changing to another distro aaaaand the Windows bootloader was gone too. It really shouldn't have been.

Same here. I have Windows 10 on a separate physical disk (sdb). I have Linux and GRUB on sda, so Windows has no idea that it's not the only OS on my computer.
