Hi Guys,
I've been trying to understand this platform as much as possible before I make my next move. I'm currently running OMV on a rpi3 and I'm not satisfied with the performance.
I am planing to switch to a server which I build from scratch. I will not cheap out on components so hopefully it will last me a long time before becoming obsolete. I also do not have a PC now and sometimes it just comes in handy to have a PC (I only have a mac and bootcamp is jut not working for some reason, too lazy to dig into it).
So I will be building a PC and have an 128GB SSD dedicated to being the boot hard drive. Of course I will install OMV on it but I'm also wanting to install windows as well.
What I'm trying to achieve is a dual boot thing where you're prompted to boot into OMV/linux or into windows when you turn on the PC. I understand you cannot run both together. And I understand that when I', using windows, my server is down. And I also understand the HDD storage that is dedicated for my OMV NAS will not be accessible through windows. I truly just want windows so if I ever need it, it's there.
So I'm not too sure how to handle it. Can the same SSD have windows and linux? How to proceed with that? Is their any side-effects to such a setup?
To be clear, I will not install anything on windows, it will be very lightweight and basically just the interface (the main reason I need it is to update my radar detector which is only feasible on windows! ).
Please give me your opinion/experience. I would really appreciate detailed instructions as I have no experience in dual-booting.
Thank you!
