Should I understand that if you have a windows installation on a disk with some (big) space left, you cannot install f40 as a dual boot system? (because anaconda is unable to ignore the windows partition)
That (dual-boot) is based upon anaconda's behaviour. Basically it is
about telling bootloader about other partitions to boot from by adding
more entries.
Anaconda being unable to ignore partition, in case of preparing a
dual-boot, should not be the root cause. As you cannot add an entry
for a partition if you simply ignore it.
Just like others have mentioned, you may consider adding another entry to existing bootloader configuration instead of trying to make another
ESP.

How can I do that? I have a /boot partition (RAID1 array) containing kernel stuff for installed fedora 36 (config, initramfs, System.map, vmlinuz...) and some directories:

efi/EFI/fedora/ (empty)

grub2/ a lot of things for grub (config, etc...)

loader/entries

How can I use this partition to tell anaconda to add fedora 40 system boot?

Thank you.

Is it possible that your Fedora 36 install was installed as a BIOS
boot install, but you’ve booted the Fedora 40 installer as an EFI
boot?

Yes! But how can I boot the installer as a BIOS boot?

You can’t install a non-efi bootloader if you booted via EFI
bootloader on installer.

That would explain why there’s no EFI volume on your 36 install.
