I am building a new PC. I want to run Linux and windows on separate SATA 2.5/3.5 SSD hard drives. I need windows (Winn11 Pro) for work. Linux will run all personal computing needs.
I have a horrible history with dual booting Linux and windows (grub getting murdered).
I currently plan to shut down the PC, switch power to the drives, and start up on the other OS.
Can i use a switch which only toggles power to each drive while keeping data cables attached to accomplish this? Will this be possible with windows on one drive?
Is there a smarter solution?

Thanks!
I might be missing someone here but could you not just set them up independently then just use the uefi boot menu to boot your ssd of choice? No need for power switcher or extra parts or software then no?
