From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I did too, I had installed with 2 drives, Windows first, then Kinoite, but the problem was that Windows automatically put its bootloader on drive 1 even if the OS was installed to drive 2, so when I installed Kinoite on disk 1, it naturally wiped everything that was on there.
My stupid easy solution was to reinstall Windows on drive 2 again, but with drive 1 disconnected from the PC at installation time, so it couldn't mess up, other answers here might be more refined (no pun intended) though, if you prefer/need to salvage the Windows system and can't just delete it.
Mine actually wasn't that easy either, because the drive was ButLocker encrypted, so before I could proceed to destroy everything, to save my files, I also needed to boot from Linux, mount the drive, decrypt with the BitLocker key and copy over the files to drive 2
