    Disclaimer: Modifying boot configurations can lead to data loss if not done correctly. Always back up your data before proceeding.

    Potential Steps (High-Level Overview):

    1. Prepare Your Disks:

      • Ensure sufficient disk space for both Windows installations.
      • Create necessary partitions using a disk management tool.

    2. Install the First Windows:

      • Install the primary Windows version normally, allowing it to create its boot loader.

    3. Install the Second Windows:

      • Boot into the installation media for the second Windows.
      • Carefully choose partition options to avoid overwriting the existing boot loader.
      • Complete the installation.

    4. Configure Boot Manager:

      • Access the Windows Boot Manager configuration (using advanced boot options or command-line tools).
      • Add entries for both Windows installations.
      • Set boot priorities as desired.
