Slackware with encryption together with Windows 10 Dual Boot

I have a problem! Is that possible? I would like to install Slackware 15.0 method LUKS and LVM on the disc sdb. I have windows 10 on the nvme drive. Is there any way to boot these systems with one boot manager?

Yes, I would suggest refind. See this link.

There is a ton of documentation on Refind. The ultimate doc is here -->https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/

I have a triple boot setup on 3 disks, one being an nvme drive. I gave up on windoze a long time ago, so it my setup is all Slackware. I don't think that should be an issue though, since you have W10 already on your nvme drive, an will have a efi partition. You will be adding things to it for your Slackware setup. You need only one efi partition.

Best of luck.

@camorri, Thank you very much :^) I will now have a lot of reading ... I had slack current on an old laptop. Unfortunately, the graphics card has crashed. Repair is unprofitable. Win 10 was on the first partition. I need to use it from time to time. I still have an old ibm x40 with current and fluxbox. But it doesn't work anymore ;^) I've been using Slackware since version 8.0 (kernel 2.2.19 ;^) ).
