Hello, It should just work if you create space for it. There are admonitions to install Windows first as people claim it will destroy a disk, but I'm not sure if it ever did this, and it seems to work well with whatever you give it. The trickiest part is still the same - going from GRUB or, now, your EFI shell, to Window's bootloader. See here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#Chainloading_Windows.2FLinux_installed_in_UEFI_mode. If you don't need to do graphically intensive things I would suggest looking at QEMU/KVM and possibly libvirtd. If you do need to do graphically intensive things, GPU passthrough now works fairly well. Cheers, R0b0t1
