So my issue is I support M$ clients, but run Mint on my own machine.
My laptop is a 11gen Intel running W10 on NVMe & personal folders on 2nd drive/SATA.
Since my laptop "can" run 11, I'm thinking I ought to separate 10 & 11. 10 on NVMe & 11 on SATA. Will empty the SATA for exclusive use for 11
If you've done this successfully, I'd appreciate the walk-through.
Please don't reply with an opinion- thanks. Not being harsh, just need a simple walk-through, if possible.
Thank you so much
If you have enough RAM then virtualbox or a cheap VMWare workstation key is the easiest and most flexible way forward.
That way you can have both Windows 10 & 11 available whenever you need without needing to reboot.
Will need some modification due to running on Mint currently but if you are using Linux currently you should be talented enough to figure it out.

To be clear 1st, you run Mint, but you are over-writing Mint on the laptop, or do you have Mint on your PC & you are talking about dual booting 10 & 11 on the laptop? I subscribe to Techspot, and would you believe on there March 15 newsletter they talk about dual-booting Windoze & Ubuntu (your welcome)
When you install your OS, you have to take out or disable the other OS or you will get an error code
Once your install is done, you go into BIOS (I hope it is up to date) and you pick which SSD you want to be the first boot, and boot into that drive. Once you boot into that drive go to this site - https://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/ - and download easyBCD.
You can work out the rest, if you can't, just give us a hola
So, no one with actual experience, with M$ & Mint/M.2-Sata? Only links?
A walk-through is where you lead someone from start to finish, in a particular set-up.
What do you want? Us to go to your house & do it for you?
You already have the right plan and hardware setup all you need to do is get comfy with grub or work with Microsoft Windows boot manager to manage your boot drives then you are good to go.
Dual boot with Grub or use use a virtual software to run it as a guest under Mint.
