I'm building my pc and I'm planning to install Linux mint on my hdd. I would also like to install windows 10 on a ssd, but I'm still waiting for it to be delivered.
Is it ok if I install linux first then install windows on ssd later on, or is it better to wait and do the opposite (windows first on ssd then linux on hdd).
Thank you in advance!

If you want to choose which OS to use in the boot order, either is fine first.
Have only one drive connected, install and OS.
Disconnect that, install the other drive, install the OS.

If, OTOH, you want a GRUB menu to choose which OS....install Windows first, then Linux.
