Second OS is not working—just remove it. What do you mean by "dangerous files"? If you're trying to install Linux on top of Windows, doing it properly should prevent conflicts.

You're asking if calling the secondary OS useless refers to trying malware in that environment. If both systems are the same OS, it might spread to each other. For testing purposes, use a virtual machine with isolation and no network access.

Yes Long answer: When both operating systems reside on the identical storage device, access is confirmed. If they are separated across distinct drives, functionality may vary depending on system configuration and connectivity methods. Since RAM interacts with any active files regardless of location, including those stored on external media like USB sticks, compatibility remains possible under certain conditions.

In principle anything can be achieved, but stay cautious. If you wish to try less common software, go ahead. For testing malicious programs, use a different drive with disconnected drivers.

I experiment with certain cracked games. On the second operating system, sometimes ads appear. Additionally, I have encrypted the first OS using BitLocker, so viruses can't reach it.

Ensure the initial operating system is protected by BitLocker encryption.

When I started with the first one, should the second also be encrypted?
