Dual boot ubuntu windows ssd in caddy

I have a spare smaller SSD.




Can I install windows into a second SSD in caddy in my laptop dvd slot WHILE keeping my Ubuntu 18.04 OS in my main first SSD drive?



ie I am running Ububtu 18.04. I want install windows into another drive using the DVD caddy space.



-what are the exact steps I need to do to make it happen?
-Will grub detect ok or will windows boot ruin my original Ubuntu grub?
-is there an easy way to do this?



(note :- I tried installing windows first then Ubuntu as dual boot after on one drive but so many problems with either linux or Ubuntu not booting. I tried with manjaro and I had much more problems than with Ubuntu.. so I am sticking with Ubuntu as main OS on SSD1




My Ubuntu is working great so I don't want to wipe everything and install Windows then dual boot ubuntu on same drive again.. too many problems before. Even bootrepair didn't help. I just heard that installing windows on second drive might be better? )



appreciate any advice
