This is probably the chicken-and-egg aspect of it. Probably the best is

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.
