To use both systems simultaneously? Dual boot is either one or the other, and even then, adds considerable friction. Many Linux distributions don't support secure boot. Sometimes Windows updates overwrites the Linux bootloader.

There's ways to have the windows boot loader do it, but unless something's changed that really means the windows boot loader reboots the computer. EasyBCD[0] can do this, but only on an mbr partition with bios boot, not on gpt/UEFI boot. Loading the windows boot loader from grub works better.
