I'd had a dedicated windows drive for a little while... Maybe a bug and not malice, but the forced Windows 8 -> 10 upgrade deleted everything on my second drive that windows wasn't installed on

The Windows installer partition manager also does not ask for confirmation before formatting a drive. That was a costly misclick

tbh if you notice it early, it probably only deleted th partition table entry at that point
