Hi, just to preface, I have some level of computer literacy just from having grown up using them, but I'm not SUPER well educated on actual specifics, so if you do end up being able to help please keep that in mind as I might not have the full knowledge on specific terminology or methodologies. Even testing and learning a fairly beginner friendly Linux OS like Pop on my laptop has had me needing to learn a lot more than I previously knew as I have just kind of passively been using the default OS (almost always Windows) on any computer I have owned.
Anyway, I am trying to set up a dual boot on my desktop computer so I can switch between Windows 10 and PopOS as I please. Ideally, I'd like for my computer to ask which one I would like to open at startup instead of just defaulting to either one. To my knowledge I have to have them both on the same drive to do that (but even then I might be missing something).
I got to basically the final step of the installation but ran into an issue as my primary SSD, my C: drive, is not a GPT drive so I couldn't assign my boot to a partition. I believe it is an MBR drive, as that is the other option there, yes? I was trying to look into things myself but I wasn't having much luck so I hope asking here will have me understanding better. To my understanding I cannot install PopOS properly unless it is a GPT drive, BUT Windows 10 also won't work on one of those? Is there a way to convert my C: drive to be GPT without disrupting my Windows installation and the information already on it? Or do I sound kinda silly asking that? I do have another SSD. It too is MBR but it has nothing on it as I recently wiped it, so I would perhaps feel comfortable converting it to a GPT drive if I must and installing Pop on there. And if I do need to do that, is there some way I can still set things up in a way where it will ask which OS I want to boot into? Or at least have it default to PopOS if I must have it default to one or the other?
Thank you for the help if you're able to give any.
