I rephrased my question to convey a different meaning while keeping the same length and structure.

What operating system are you currently using?
Are all your software applications sourced from trusted origins?

Forums operate effectively only when users address inquiries intended to assist others. If you wish for a secure experience, consider using one of the BSD versions. While not ideal for gaming, it offers strong security features. Your initial message and subsequent changes are still ambiguous. You're seeking assistance with a topic beyond traditional OS concerns, focusing more on personal usage. You can safely secure Windows, and how you manage it is entirely your choice.

Use distinct boot units and a multi-drive bay adapter. I previously used an Icydock model (no longer available) but a similar one is available here: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Alum...B00HS23QZO. For light use, I install Windows on one drive, leaving others uninstalled. This setup allows easy removal whenever desired. Avoid using this OS for important services like finance or critical data.

Power down and remove the first drive, then power on. Install Linux (or revert to Windows) and wipe the drive as needed. This system is secure—do not access sensitive sites or games on it.

Power down and remove the second drive. Add a storage drive if required. Insert the Windows casual boot drive and set up a shutdown shortcut (only for Windows 10 and 11). For shared storage between Windows boot drives, disable disk check on both OS properties. Once configured, simply insert the desired drive before turning on your system. The remaining ejected drives stay in place. Any errors from casual Windows operations won<|pad|> can’t transfer to the secured drive unless you intentionally open files from there.

Always back up your data—reinstalling your OS becomes much simpler.

Playing with anti-cheat systems can feel like using spyware, creating a never-ending cycle that prevents reaching the desired outcome.
