Hello, could anyone advice how to correctly make a dual boot on a computer that has only proxmox running? I would like to install another OS windows natively on a separate HDD but how do I configure correctly so that I do not mess with Proxmox? Thank you.

You can either
- install Windows and fix the bootloader afterwards, e.g. with a live OS
- install Windows first, then Debian, then Proxmox on top.

But anyway: what is the purpose? Proxmox isn't really a desktop OS.

Realizing that Proxmox is not a desktop, I could foresee wanting to keep windows intact and being able to create and use a "bare metal" hypervisor for other operating systems. This should in theory be possible correct?
