Should I understand that if you have a windows installation on a disk

I *think* that there can be only one /boot/efi partition on a disk.
So how can we proceed when you want a dual (fedora/fedora,
fedora/debian, fedora.ubuntu....) boot on the same disk?
EFI is designed to allow multiple diverse operating systems to co-exist
on a drive.
When you install an O/S the installer *somehow* makes an entry into the
motherboard's NVRAM (non-volatile memory) which the BIOS uses to offer a
boot selection. I *believe* that the nvram contains a pointer into the
EFI table (list of folders) indicating which one to use for the boot.
Caution: if you're going to multiboot don't set your BIOS to "fast" or
"ultra-fast" boot or it will be difficult to impossible to interrupt the
BIOS (F12, DELETE, whichever magic key that takes you to the BIOS) to
make an O/S selection.
It's probably a good idea to create the new partition manually *before*
running anaconda. Then you can select it for the install location.
Anaconda knows about EFI so it should be smart enough to create a unique
entry in the mobo's nvram and create the /boot/efi/EFI entry automagically..
That's all to the best of my knowledge because I don't usually have
multiple O/S's on my systems.
Bonne chance
