I always do windows on first disk then endeavourOS on second (per habit) cause Calameres (endeavourOS installater) is easier to select wich partition to install on (as opposed to windows), and it reduce the risk to wipe what you already install.

And sometimes windows installed as second mess things up moving bios option (like with updates) so i would do windows install then updates then bios option then endeavourOS

I've been doing that for more than a year. Windows first, EOS after. Never had a problem that way.

Yes I have this with Windows and Kubuntu, totally easy. I have installed grub also on the second harddisk, so I have to switch on startup which efi I want to start. Like this both OS will not mess up each other.

I went the oposite of most people, I already had EOS on a two disk raid 1, and added a third disk to put my old windows 7 on. I has previously done a P2V of my windows disk, but ran into a problem trying to get a USB lable printer working, so did a V2P back to a disk, dual booted on my EOS machine.

Instale o EndeavourOS primeiro.

O Windows vem com o "secure boot" em alguns aparelhos que acaba por destruir qualquer tipo de dual-boot, mesmo em discos diferentes.

Deixei de usar Windows por causa disso. Tinha Windows no meu SSD. Consegui outro SSD e instalei na máquina. Quando fui instalar o Linux no novo SSD o Windows simplesmente dava problemas no boot.

Fiquei com raiva, desinstalei o Windows e hoje tenho dois sistemas Linux em um dos Notebooks

Fedora supports secure boot. So not any dual boot is off the table.
