By secondary windows drive : I mean in windows 10 I have a C drive the main drive. and I have a D drive (the secondary drive for extra storage). I’m curious if I put data onto it or copied data from it would windows 10 have any sort of issues with that data or even the entire drive?

    Can second this. Also had a HDD (ntfs) for dumping data onto. When switching from Linux back to Windows, Windows would often show “repairing Drive :F” on startup. Certainly not a great feeling. So while nothing happened to my data yet, I purged windows off the PC. Drive still is ntfs, no issues as long as I am not reading and writing from alternating OSs

      I had to copy everything to an external drive and change HDD to ext4, then copied back. Nothing corrupted since.
