    If I reinstall Windows in my dual boot scheme, will it keep the other half?


    I'm currently running Windows 10 on a dual boot with Linux Mint. I have so much gook on the Windows partition that I'm planing on reinstalling Windows via the option in the settings - specifically, delete all apps and files, reinstall all of it. But if I reinstall Windows using that, will it eat up my Linux Mint partition?


    I'd like this to be answered by someone who is very confident, because the Linux Mint part of my machine is very important to me.


    Thank you!

    :)

    Dual Booting with Windows 8.1


    The procedure below will allow you to boot Windows separately or in dual boot configuration.
    Here's what I recommend to do:
    1. Disconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    2. Install Windows 10 with one drive connected.
    3. After step 2, reconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    4. Boot up Windows 8.1. Open disk management and take a note of the drive letter of Windows 10 OS.
      NOTE: if you boot up Windows 10, then take a note of Windows 8.1 drive letter
    5. Open Admin command prompt and type: bcdboot X:\windows where X: is the drive letter of Windows 10 (Windows 8.1 if you boot from Windows 10 in step 4)
    6. Reboot the PC. You should have a dual boot screen.

    NOTE: To break off the dual boot setting, Win+R->msconfig->boot and delete the none default entry on the list.
