Hey there! You're looking at a dual-boot setup with SteamOS and Windows on an HTPC. Since SteamOS can erase the drive during installation, you might want to consider using a bootable USB or a recovery media to keep your Windows files intact. Also, check if you can install a custom partition or use a live USB for smoother CAD work.

The process isn't necessarily simple. I've learned it can be quite challenging to set up Steam OS.

I’m planning to test it using the extra 120GB SSD I own. It’s currently installed on an M.2 slot, and I’ll update you once it works out and I can switch between operating systems smoothly.
