If you only have one PC, multibooting or choice of HDD's especially external USB3 enclosures can help a lot to keep things separate and/or isolated.

I have several PCs, my personal machines. Those never have anything to do with work.

Employers have always provided their own hardware, which in turn never have anything to do with my personal uses.

Sharing hardware muddles that. It's not like my employer's going to pay for upkeep of my personal hardware, or accept when I take my hardware down for maintenance due to something I did on my own time.

Then again, I've never worked for a startup, or a company that I held any significant equity in. I suppose that the calculus would change in that case.
