You can, and there are ways to do it safely... but you probably shouldn't.
Just use different drives.
That's it. You are shielded.
Every month or so the windows 10 install hijacks my bios (dual boot) and sets itself to the first boot option so it can try for updates.
Hisssssssss
My Linux install and Windows install were on different drives and Windows still managed to fuck my windows install by messing up the secure boot enrollment somehow when I did updates. I wasn't able to fix it and had to completly reinstall Linux. I turned secure boot off so it shouldn't happen again but still.... that happened.
I dual boot and haven't had an issue like that, yes I know I'm not everyone
Also isn't secure boot enrollment easy to fix just be re-enroling through commands
I'm familiar with Linux having commands for it and I think Windows has its equivalent commands as well
I'm familiar with re-enrolling secure boot because of fixing a broken akmods on my fedora install and years ago before dual booting when I was back on Windows I accidentally fucked up secureboot
Apparently not. I know how to do it but it didn't work. I spent 2 days troubleshooting and asking for help on their discord but got nowhere.
New low for microsoft it seems
Never happened to me but I'll becareful and maybe move my windows install to an external ssd
