You can create a partition on your HDD for Kali Linux and enable it to boot directly from the BIOS, even with other applications installed. Just ensure you format the drive properly and set up the boot order correctly.

You can add grub to the ssd (the bootloader). Then reduce the partition on the hdd and place it there. Alternatively, you might run a virtual machine using hyper-v which includes windows.

You can definitely start with BIOS to launch Kali without Grub or any other method.

It's possible to do that too. Just add the files to the HDD. You're not required to use Grub, though it's convenient.

If you skip Grub, you'd manually install Kali on the HDD and set up a bootloader for it. To load it each time, you'd configure the system to recognize the new installation method.

Grub is the bootloader responsible for loading the kernel into RAM. Without Grub, you can rely on the UEFI setup, though it may be complicated and limit your ability to configure boot options. If you chose not to use Grub, the UEFI boot menu would be your alternative.

It doesn’t look like you’re going to set it up, just running it straight away. I tried installing it and stopped when I reached the partition section. Did any files actually get saved somewhere? If so, I’d be able to delete them.

No need to worry unless you used the section; it didn't work. I'll try launching Kali in a VM. Hyper-V is available at no cost and includes Windows.
