  • install windows
  • adjust main partition so you have space for Linux
  • install linux, during install create anither efi partition, and root partition.
  • linux probes foreign OS (some distros might not) and creates a chainloader entry from your new EFI to Windows EFI
  • set BIOS to boot from linux EFI

Windows never knows the other partition exists and leaves it intact.

Could you give me more detail for step 3?

Don't even have to do that. Install windows first, then install Linux with refind bootloader on preferably a separate disk. Done

I installed arch so that didn't happen.
