Follow-up to installing Arch
(lemm.ee)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've never done it but at boot you should be able to choose from which drive you'd like to boot. You've got two drives and a usb stick with arch. Leave microsoft alone (remove, if you are afraid, and it's ok to be afraid. Once, I did overwrite something important) and boot from usb and select the other drive when installing the OS. Then you should've arch installed.
Then, you boot your computer and select the drive from which you'd like to boot (arch). Set the arch drive as your default drive that auto boots after x seconds
Good luck on your arch journey and take time to understand everything 💪🏻
I also remember fiddling with secure boot on the bios menu.
