Can I install Windows 10 after Arch on a separate SSD?

Hi everyone,

Can I install Windows 10 via USB drive on a PC with Arch already installed on it without removing it?

Arch is installed on a 'Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1 TB PCIe NVMe M.2 (2280)'
I have just bought another SSD (Samsung 980 500 GB PCIe 3.0 (up to 3.100 MB/s) NVMe M.2)

Can I just install Windows 10 on the new SSD and launch it? I use rEFInd boot manager and was wondering if it would recognise both OS systems if I boot with both SSDs installed?

Thanks everyone!

Of course you can but have a good read of this first:
