Have you ever done a dual boot solution with Linux running on the same machine as your Windows OS?? If so, I am sure you found out the hard way that Windows will try to act that it is the only OS allowed to lives on your computer. There have been a number of times that I had Linux run alongside of Windows 11. Windows does on of its forced updates, and reboots you in the middle of your work. Suddenly, you no longer have the choice to choose Linxu or Windows in the menu. Yes, Windows has written over the MBR to make it the only recognized OS on the system. The OS, and files are still there, but you essentially lost access to them. Windows can’t read Linux formats so you can’t even get your personal files out of the bricked Linux OS. This means if you are running Linux and Windows on the same machine, the user likely keeps his important files on a online backup solution (not One Drive), or on a removable media like a thumb driver, or SD card.
So what would be my solution. Well, Windows should quit overwriting the MBR. They are not the only OS in the world, and they should play nicely with other OSes. But since we know that will never happen, then I hope your computer has an SD card reader. If so, store all of your files in ExFAT partitioned card, and use that to have your personal files. If your computer has a SD card reader, this should be easiy enough to do.
The other option is to not use Windows at all. I know this may not be a viable solution for some. For those people, a virtual machine ? might be your best solution. Load Linxu, and then load Windows in the Virtual Machine to run the software you need to run in Windows this way. Therefore, if Windows installs one of their updates, it will not brck your Linux installation.
