Yes, this is not hard to do. You normally install Windows 10 first, then Windows 11, and after that I typically add Ubuntu. If you have two drives in your system you can install Windows 10 on one of them and Windows 11 in the other and change the boot order by giving yourself a few extra seconds in your UEFU setting to hit which ever function key changes the default boot order.
Currently I am using a Hyper-V virtual machine with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTS installed it, in a widows 11 installation. I also have a Windows-to-Go installation on an NVME in an external enclosure with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTS installed. These are very easy to setup and when you plug them into a different computer they automatically look for a set of different drivers and then start up.
I did have a bad experience recently where I already had good installations with Windows 11 Pro, Ubuntu Studio, Xubuntu minimal, triple booting. When I tried adding a version of Debian to run a NAS application something went wrong and the GRUB not only was screwed up... it actually repartitioned my hard drive and all of the installations were so screwed up, that it was easier to just start over.
Go to https://grok.com and ask this, How do I triple boot with windows 10, windows 11, and ubuntu studio?
It will give you step by step instructions and troubleshooting hints.
Sorry, UEFI settings.
I’d rather have a mac
It’s not that I can’t figure out that LTS means Long Term Support and I can’t search the internet for what all the other abbreviations mean, it’s just that it is so annoying to toss out all the acronyms without saying what they mean when you are trying to convince people that your Ubuntu is much larger than their Ubuntu and that you can UEFI your SSD with a USB RAID. Maybe it’s too much to ask for you to take a few minutes to explain what the acronyms are supposed to represent so we can be suitably impressed by your multiboot prowess. I don’t plan on multi booting operating systems. I just get another computer and run it on a KVM switch. KVM means keyboard video mouse by the way.

I apologize, the original post was long to begin with and included descriptions that I hoped would help people who do not have a great deal of experience with computers understand... As far as multi-boot installations I have tried to answer questions asked at a level that I thought the person who asked indicated they were at. My intent was to help not to impress anyone. I am sorry that this you have been left with a negative impression of what my intent has been. I will try to do better in the future.
This is why I suggested watching the video found at...

You are the first person to mention a USB RAID in this discussion along with KVM switches etc... Although I had to check because in my rudimentary “home serve lab” I have been working with these items. And I thought that maybe I had used these terms.
What term that I did not explain... specifically caused you to become irritated?
I am sorry again... I did not notice this post before responding to the other. No further explanations are needed.

My Windows 7 machines were consistently better after MS stopped supporting it and giving updates. Maybe that’ll be true for Windows 10.
And Explorer Patcher (see under Assets here. Install, and r. click on TB and hit Properties to see options) that restores the Windows 11 taskbar to be like Windows 10 (which enables a two-level taskbar, plus Quick Launch), while Windows 7+ Taskbar Tweaker (I am using the beta ver.) provides more customization.
There is also Windows 7+ Taskbar Tweaker (I am using the beta ver.) provides more customization.
Then there are the over 200 tweaks available in Ultimate Windows Tweaker 5 for Windows 11 from the Windows club.
Add to this the many Winaero features of the Winaero Tweaker
See some images here.
Plus many .reg files for further customization, thanks be to God for all such, as part of His manifold grace, which only should be used for what is good in His sight.
There must be tons of Window 7 machines out there. I say this because most of the software & hardware I buy can be used with W7. You can still get browsers for it and antivirus protection. And if used strictly for offline applications, it does not bloat and seldom crashes.
I barely use Windows anymore.
The Mac I bought last year does the everything I need with almost zero aggravation. It simply works.
I have a couple of Dell laptops that I use once in a while but I see a Mac laptop replacing them.
I have two Win 7, and two Win 10. Trying to get used to 10, but am not impressed.
There’s that Edge thing that seems to be the default browser when clicking on a link. I (thought I had) changed the default but some turquoise screen Edge is the browser that opens.
Ditto for my Windows Explorer which opens with a turquoise screen and has a “ribbon” menu.
I pretty much hate Win 10.
I never could get used to W10. Call me old fashioned, I don’t care.
Use brave instead.
“I never could get used to W10. Call me old fashioned, I don’t care.”
Call ME old fashioned, I am proud!
