Hey guys, after 2 years since my last attempt (and recently trying fedora on my laptop) Im ready to try again to install it on my desktop. First time I installed Nobara and it nuked my windows boots partition which caused a lot of trouble and trauma (couldnt boot into windows no matter what). Basically I want to accomplish this:

1- I want to install Fedora on a separate drive and keep my windows drive completely intact (Need it for work).
2- Preferably I would like GRUB to ask which boot option I want to use if my linux drive is set to be my boot drive and to boot straight to windows if its my windows drive set to boot.

Can someone please guide me into installing it the safest way possible?

    It probably got moved when I reinstalled windows after trying nobora years ago. I managed to fix everything but tbh it was way more stressful than it should have been

        Yeah, mostly fixed stuff but now Im not getting audio. It defaults to my GPU’s hdmi audio instead of my onboard sound

            I ran some terminal cmd (sry dont remember what it was) that gave me a weird UI inside the terminal that actually showed my onboard sound so I think my pc recognizes it somehow somewhere

              You don’t have to use the terminal, if you installed regular Fedora with GNOME, you can just search for “Sound” and it should come up with this:

              If you installed Fedora KDE you can search for “Sound” as well and it should look like this:
