At one point I had Windows take up two drives, one for boot and one for games. However, I only ever really used it for this one piece of software that I couldn’t get working on Linux, so I nuked it and reinstalled Windows on the smallest drive I have, just for that software.
Two weeks later I got the software working on Linux, and I completely forgot I even have a Windows partition up until now. It’s been months.
The software I had needs GPU acceleration and I couldn’t be arsed fixing that. At the time I had an NVidia GPU as well, and that makes things extra shit.
You just reminded me.

My windows “partition” for work is just a single VM image that sits on one of my two Linux-formatted drives.

I’ve got the images for Windows 10 Pro and Windows XP on my server, to use remotely in case I ever feel the need.
