Hi!

I’m thinking of installing Windows 11 and Linux Mint, each on its own physical SSD. The idea is to have only one of the SSDs physically connected at a time. Will this work, or will Windows 11 run into problems because of TPM, EFI files, etc., when I reconnect the SSD with Windows 11 on it?

I’ve been using Windows since the days of the 80486, but I’m quite new to all this stuff with TPM, UEFI and EFI files.
