Last week i was so fed up und thought i give linux another shot. I tried linux before but especially for gaming it wasn't all that 8 or so years ago. I remember how easy it was to set up so i went for it. Suddenly i couldn't install it because of intels RST, which after doing some research doesn't do much or is just kinda shit. I don't just wanna nuke my pc completely.

I installed Linux Mint on my internal D: drive. I didn't want to dual-boot off my C: drive or mess with its partitions. (I had a bad experience removing Linux from a dual boot system and getting the partitions back to normal).

If you're really worried about messing up your c: drive, you can physically disconnect it when you're installing Linux, so the Live installer only has one choice for installation. Once you're sure Linux is working correctly, you can run "sudo update-grub" which will add your c: drive to the boot menu on the d: drive. Now, you can boot into either OS without having to change your boot order in BIOS.
