How do you dual boot Holo Iso with Windows?

I might be wrong, so please don't take it as 100% accurate.
From what I know currently the SteamOS3 is not dual-boot friendly.
You might be able to hack something manually, but I do not know.
It might be best for you to wait until Valve officially modifies SteamOS to support dual-booting

this reddit discussion could probably help you out...
also there's this user which was against dual booting, but the discussion primarily was about the steam deck itself.

Linux, in general, does not play well with Windows, or NTFS partitions at all. Dual-booting is dangerous to your data and I would not recommend it anymore. I'm not sure if it has ever actually worked well, maybe in the days of FAT...
Here's an alternative:
I have had mixed results running a Windows KVM in QEMU, but I can recommend it for working on projects that wouldn't work in Linux if you're fine using the cloud for file transfer to/from the VM. For gaming, I haven't tested it, but it should perform OK (not perfect, and might have some issues).
This is a somewhat technically advanced option, but if you're considering this, you might already be skilled enough to do it.
Otherwise, you may need to disable/disconnect your drives each time you want to switch operating systems, to avoid data loss.
