I've never done it(1), but I was always told that you should install
Windows first, because it assumes it'll be the only OS an will overwrite
existing bootloaders, without regard for anything else.

I heard rumours that that attitude changed, but I won't hold my breath.

Another option could be to fit an HD sled (if such things still exist)
and swap drives:  One with Linux installed and one with Windows on it.

(1) I've never owned a Windows machine.  My path was ZX81, Atari 8-bits,
Amigas, commodity hardware with Linux.
