Hey everyone!

I got my desktop with dual boot (Kubuntu & W11) and wanted to know if I ever go fully Kubuntu, am I able to reinstall Windows again?

I don’t have a disc, but my desktop came with it pre-installed. Is it tied to my Live account?

    I’m kind of doing something similar. I built a machine from scratch and installed arch Linux on it. Now I want to see if i can plug in a hard drive from an older computer that already had windows on it. Then dual boot from that. Not sure what I’ll run into but I’m probably going to try it this weekend.

      should work just fine just look at the wiki for os-prober to get it in your grub menu

      I’m running that and I don’t have any issues. I just have to go to bios instead of using a boot manager.

        if your using grub you just need to install os-prober and re build your grub config and then you can boot windows from grub even on multiple drives
