So I have Windows 11 and Deepin v20.9 as boot entries within the Linux/GRUB bootloader. The boot files are on a separate 3rd small partition (often called the boot partition) that are different from the ones with Windows 11 and Deppin v20.9 installed. If I install V23 over the v20.9 partition via USB flashdrive (NOT via Deepin updates), will the setup overwrite the existing Linux/GRUB boot loader meaning the option to boot into Windows 11 will be gone?

Generally, the setup will scan the disk and add other systems to the bootloader. So the option of Windows 11 won't gone.
