Yeah, installing Windows first is the only way to guarantee it won't override your Linux bootloader
I will say, I bought a new Lenovo a few months ago, and it was a pain in the ass to get grub to surface right off the bat. I still sometimes have to enter the boot menu to get my grub menu, so I know windows is doing something stupid, I just haven't taken the time to figure it out.
I recommend using systemd-boot, it is much easier than grub, especially for dual-booting. systemd-boot updates the OS list automatically, grub requires so much effort.
Good to know, I'll have a look, thanks.
