So I am looking to dual boot. I currently have ubuntu installed on my SSD. I bought a new SSD that I would like to install windows 10 on for gaming. How do I go about installing windows without messing up my ubuntu installation?

Ideally, Windows should not ruin your bootloader if it's installed on a different drive. That being said, Windows is Windows, and we really don't ever know what it's going to do. So I would do what was suggested in the comments: remove your Ubuntu drive, install Windows in the new drive, then put the Ubuntu drive back, and make sure you boot into Ubuntu (may have to change boot order in your BIOS/UEFI settings). One in Ubuntu, update your GRUB configuration so Windows shows up in the list. Then when you boot, your Ubuntu drive will load GRUB, which you can then choose to boot Windows if you'd like.
