Prior to that I had used various computers at school, University and work.


Recently semi-retired a 4th gen i7 self-built system from 2013, which amazingly still works.
Currently using a 12th Gen i9-12900K, RoG Maximus z690 Hero, RTX3060Ti self-built system.

You don't have to devote the whole of a HDD, SSD etc to one OS. Multiple OS can reside in separate partitions.
A general tip(not just for computers) is to check out the manufacturers website for pdf manuals. You then then check whatever item can do what you want it to do.
Multi booting in this way imo is the absolute worst way possible

I always multiboot off separate discs but each set as primary when installed so each has its own loader. I then set the main OS as primary and just use boot select to switch drives.

The corsair cases I mentioned are traditional cases with decent storage options. There is plenty of choice in the cheap pressed steel cases also with the old traditional set up. I really do not like all the flashy RGB cases on the market today and I also hate glass side panels that reflect the screen and distract me
