Maybe you can help me. I would just like to dabble in it. Can I duel boot from the same drive my windows is in? can it access my storage drives as is, or do I have to completely reformat those and dedicate them to linux?

    You can dual boot but would highly recommend that you have a separate Windows SSD. Microsoft likes to dick around with the boot loader and bricking the ability to dual boot.

    I am still dual booting myself with a small SSD for the rare occasion I want to run a game that isn't supported on Linux but honestly I haven't done that in over half a year now so Windows just kinda sits they taking to 200 GB of space.

    I'm out of rack space for another drive but I guess I can try on a portable one.

    Would steam be able to see my existing games or do I have to redownload them?
