Rich,
I am in similar position, except that "socialization" on that topic happened to me in the early nineties and created the habit of having multiple OS on the same machine - OS/2 for command prompt, W3.1, W95 and W98 on MS-Dos, NT4.0,
as blue screens happened a lot more often back then and making a partition un-bootable happened often.

Today I am working mostly with VM (except for having native W7 (+W10) for offspring gaming...) called either from Linux or W7 boot partitions. Added PITA is mostly in form of backup of whole boot partitions and unused space for each Update on them.

Besides (vfp and other) GUI differences / preferences this isolates me from MS SNAFU: currently on some W11+NVMe combinations performance of some W11 file/disk operations is ABYSMAL. Yes it will be fixed - but it is nice to have a fallback option in need (or screwed up Windows Update).

Added cost: at 0.1$ per GB (really good deal on 2TB WD Black NVMe with Heatsink for big box, 0.08 on 2TB SATA SSD in old laptops without NVMe option) less than 20$ for each Windows native boot partition. No brainer on cost, toad to swallow on added maintainance...

Next round I plan to test having Win10 and Win11 native boot options plus everyday Linux - but I'll test the .vhdx native "file as partition" boot for Win without separate native partitions. See Al and me discussing need for leftover partition space on SSD vs. traditional HD for some of the reasons. Also with hope to save the "other Win boot option" as a simple file to backup USB3 HD without booting into Linux based Acronis safety software from USB boot stick for maintainance...

Have not searched in depth for a similar Linux boot option - booting from USB in Linux is so easy its ridiculous compared to any windows (PE) stupidity. So splurge on SSD size and add at least one more boot partition or option, esp if you are not in the habit of using throw-away VM instances...

my (somewhat paranoid) 22$
