For years while I was dual booting, I'd just give windows its own hard disk with its own bootloader, and Linux its own hard disk with its own bootloader, and toggle by pushing F8 on boot to get to the bios boot device select menu. All to avoid having to correctly chainload bootloaders and deal with windows throwing fits whenever it's not the first partition on disk.
Image caption: a desktop computer sits on a desk with a box on top of it which has two switches labeled Win 10 and Linux. There is a text overlay that has the quote "grub is too complicated". These switches presumably connect hard drives, which would be an effective way at determining which drive to use to boot the machine.
