I run Windows 10 and Garuda on different disks and that works flawlessly. I can even use an NTFS drive as kind of a shared storage. However, what you are trying could be a bit more tricky…
If you install both on the same disk, you’ll probably have to do the partitioning manually for both. I would install Windows first so it doesn’t break any Linux partitions because it tends to do things “automatically” (read: against your will).
Also this combo might give you some issues because Windows 11 requires TPM and SecureBoot while Linux prefers both to be turned off. I’d probably look into a Windows boot image creator (like Rufus) to make these requirements go away for this kind of setup.
