Then you’ll have to partition your hard drive. One side for Linux and one for Windows. You won’t be able to switch between them without rebooting. Not sure about mint, but the SuSE boot loader was able to boot from either partition, back when I had a Windows partition.

That’s fine- I don’t game much or do much in windows (except for photoshop, which i can run in linux on VM)- but when i need to run games or whatever, I’d simply reboot into windows- no problem-

Yeah, I was gonna allocate about 50-100 gigs for windows partition- 50 for linux, the rest of the 2 Terabytes for swap, home, data
