Can I install over other distro while keeping Windows 10 untouched?

Issues & Assistance Unsupported hardware | Dual boot

Hey guys,

I would love to count with your help if possible.

Currently I use another distro (EndeavourOS) but I am intending to install Garuda.

Well, happens that I have some partitions here, as well as a Windows 10 installation I need to keep untouched.

I would like to know if I can install Garuda over EndeavourOS leaving other things untouched. Or, at least leaving Windows 10 untouched, including the boot sequence, etc.

Can I do that, while maintaining Windows 10 and all the other things OK, as well as maintaining Windows in the boot menu?

I am pasting below the results of a lsblk command, and would love to count with your help.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the very newbie question.

In short.
Yes you can.
But it is not supported by Garuda Linux.

You can use the EnOS partition to install Garuda.
You can install Garuda as third OS side by side.
ahh filo is typing :wink:

Hi there, welcome to the forum.
Of course you can.
There is a “partitioning” step in the installation process which allows to do that.
See e g.

And many posts in the forum or tutorials on the internet
