All computer users should have an emergency kit. The main component
of which being a bootable utilities system. In today's world, such a
bootable emergency kit is a Live/Install USB. And most of those have
a 'writable' partition that can be filled with extra utilities on top.
 The recommended thing is a specialized rescue/forensic system, such as
grml. Why carry the ballast of a live system with GUI, Audio, Video,
Development Environment etc if it can also be more lightweight?
 
I guess the main risk with multiple boot scenarios involving Windows is
Windows wiping it out on purpose. (Or perhaps out of incompetence? I
mean, it's said not to attribute to malice...)

Once you receive Windows on your new machine, you have a choice: erase
it competely or minimise it down to almost nothing.
 "almost nothing" nowadays means a middle two-digit number of
gigabytes. A windows that is short on space won't update at all, a
windows that is not so short on space will try to update and then fail
with a nondescript eight-digit error number. Only a windows that as
ample space will update cleanly.
 
* Windows 7 was "Peak Windows".
 Windows 10 and 11 are better than their reputation if you leave the
data protection stuff aside.
   Nah ... Win2k was "peak Windows" ... got bloated
   and over-complex from there  :-)
