some distributions don't rely on Grub, and Solus employs systemd-boot instead. Arch seems to support this as well.

I've repeated this process several times. When working with the same drive, install Windows first. If using BIOS instead of UEFI, Windows will only recognize the initial four partitions—plan accordingly. Windows can also alter the MBR occasionally. For UEFI systems, things are simpler. Still, install Windows first. If you're using two disks, install them afterward and ensure only the OS drive is active. It's usually more convenient but not mandatory. After installation, configure BIOS/UEFI to boot into Linux/grub and let it detect Windows. In the BIOS setup, a live disk (available with most installers) can be helpful if Windows fails to set the MBR correctly. Once you manage the common issues, it becomes straightforward.
