And how can this be improved ? Should “normies” be pushed into RTFM or ELI5 ?

    Windows refuses to recognize anything except the first partition on any storage device that it classifies as “removable”, so this tracks. Just zero the partition table, and Windows will offer to format it like it wants on next plug.

      That’s not true. I have a 2-partition SSD that boots an on OS on one partition and has storage on the other, works fine in Windows.

      The problem is that Windows’ Disk Management utility doesn’t zero unknown partition tables.
