I wish, now have a i9-14900KF, so guessing no more Windows 10 anymore. Planning to make a Linux partition, but frustrating the way that Windows tries so adamantly to take boot priority.
I'd recommend separate physical disks if possible. Set your boot order via uefi
Thanks. I’ve personally never altered boot order before, but it can’t be too complicated, right?
It's not very intuitive but it isn't so bad once you're familiar; you can take a look at this whenever's convenient for you.
When you boot the system, you should briefly see your BIOS splash screen, along with the key combo to get into your BIOS setup menu. Let us know which mainboard vendor you have and we may be able to tell you in advance (For Asus, it's usually F2, for Gigabyte its the Delete key, for MSI it might be F12 etc). I just mash the specified key when prompted until I'm in.
There's usually also a key that you can hit to select a temporary boot device (I.e. I can hit F12 on my gigabyte board to select any OS detected by the BIOS, not just boot into the top entry).
Once you're in, have a look for the 'Boot' section. You should have the capability to define your boot order. These entries can consist of traditional disks connected via SATA/SCSI/m.2, USB drives, network locations etc.
You can arrange this boot order however you like.
I would also recommended temporarily disconnecting any existing drives when installing an OS on your system (e.g.: Windows attempts to store its bootloader on SATA 0 by default, even if the OS isn't destined for that drive).
Is Windows 10 unsupported by the newest processors?
I looked it up shortly after posting, surprisingly seems like Windows 10 is supported, but 11 did better in a few of the tests.
