how to install linux on second internal m2 SSD and dual boot windows/ linux

I have a 7090 desktop with windows 10 on an internal SSD.
I installed a second internal SSD.
Is there anything special I need to do before installing a bootable Linux on the second hard drive?
I want to dual boot Linux and windows on separate m2 SSD drives.
My bios and firmware are updated.
Thx

I tried this before and the windows boot manager keeps disappearing. So I wiped both hard drives, reinstalled windows on the original drive and starting over

Go inside bios check SATA operation make sure it is AHCI and not RAID.  Save bios. Exit.  Install Linux in second ssd.  To be sure you can also temporarily uninstall first ssd that has Win10 during the Linux install. When done reinstall first ssd.
