Installing Windows today is pushing the limits of everyday folk. I no longer support clean Windows installs because makers rarely document how to do this anymore. I can't be sure if you know to use a support Windows version or the right driver and app install.

To dual boot I use the usual factory issued restore media (or that I made) then boot the Linux distro and let it repartition and install.

If the laptop fails to work with the factory restored OS, then it's back to its maker for repair.
