I'd had a dedicated windows drive for a little while... Maybe a bug and not malice, but the forced Windows 8 -> 10 upgrade deleted everything on my second drive that windows wasn't installed on

The Windows installer partition manager also does not ask for confirmation before formatting a drive. That was a costly misclick

tbh if you notice it early, it probably only deleted th partition table entry at that point

I had two disks and windows still fucked my secure boot keys somehow in a way that I wasn't able to fix so I had to reinstall the linux side. I turned secure boot off afterwards so should be fine now but it was a thing that happened.

I needed to know this about 5 years ago, when I lost a partition on my SSD because of a poorly done dual boot.
