I will install it in a new SSD.
Partition is the space an OS reserves for it’s installation and booting, I’d say.
File system doesn’t sound too familiar to me.
Bootloader I guess would be the system that a PC uses to boot an OS like GRUB or Limine?
I will look these terms up to see if I’m as lost as I think hahah

if it’s going to be on a separate SSD, it should be pretty straightforward: insert live USB for your secondary OS, go through its installer and be careful which SSD you select for it to install on (I recommend backing up all your important data before any procedure like this, just incase you make a mistake or something weird happens). and then you just need to make sure your bootloader knows about both OSes. the installer might automatically detect your existing OS and configure your bootloader to know about both. if not, you might have to update your grub config file after the installation is complete.
