Basically. I have separate drive for my windowsOS/media etc. And one of my nvme drive now is completely empty.

Is there a way to install Linux onto that empty nvme with windows and then like turn the PC off remove my windows drive entirely, and then have it just boot with the linux drive without needing to do a whole bootable usb through the motherboard uefi?

I don’t have USB drives and they cost too much for something i never use.

Like if there was a linux installer that Ibcan run while logged in to windows that would be amazing…

    It’s funny when someone says “I want a solution besides X” and we all kinds to to say “uhhhh, srsly, X is the answer”

    I mean, yeah, you kind of have to point it out. Newbies won’t be able to judge how much they’re making their life harder by wanting to do it their way. 🫠
