Getting ready to switch to Linux full time (pawb.social)

But I've got two doubts remaining.

Currently, I'm running Windows 11, but I'd still like the ability to dual boot for certain games which don't necessarily work with Linux for various reasons. Is it possible to move a windows install to a different drive and then install Linux on the main drive instead?

If yes, how do I do it?

Second doubt is if I'll have many issues daily driving Linux if I have an Nvidia card

Yes, it's possible. But why not install Linux on the new drive and avoid the move?

Ah, I already have a dual boot installed, but Windows is currently on the "best" drive while Linux is on a side drive. If I am switching to Linux full time, I would like to have Linux on the main drive and Windows on the side one :)
