OK so my question is simple I've a nice build of Windows 10 and OpenSuse and all my partitions are put in order which I don't want to risk loosing, letting about 10 years old OS managing those stuff. What I mean is that installing this OS will eventually do a lot of unwanted changes (like modifying my MBR to boot itself). Is there anyway I can simply 'extract' OS files from my installation disk and copy them over a new partition by myself?
I'm using rEFInd as a boot manager so latter I could eventually simply configure it to load the NTLDR file and boot directly without the need of writing an MBR record on my GPT disk. Is this even possible?
I don't like using VMs if you wondering about it.
