This was solved!!

Don’t know where to draw the line and say this is either a Windows post or a Linux post, but I’d rather post here because this community is more active.

To make the story short, I’m new to Linux and trying to make a jump to it in the future, but for now I decided to dual boot with W11 on my other drive until I understand what I’m doing.

Anyways, before I did a clean install of Win11, I had 2 SSDs like this:

  • Disk0 - Windows installed
  • Disk1 - Fedora installed

I wanted to clean my system and start over, and also wanted to try Endevour OS so I could later try Arch, but after doing a W11 clean install, my SSDs look different (see picture posted)

Now, I feel like my question is really basic. I specifically checked that W11 needed to only install on Disk0, so I don’t know why Disk1 has some partitions:

If I remove/format Disk1, will I lose the whole OS and prompt me to install Windows again? Or should I just install it again regardless so I can install Linux (EOS) on the other drive?

Sorry if this is not a Linux question specifically, sorry if it’s a stupid question and thank you in advance for any responses!
