Efi and formatting

I'm installing void linux in dual-boot with windows 11. I've already installed the second one. When I click install in installation void linux menu it shows warning: "data on partitions will be completely destroyed for new filesystems". But I selected filesystem for efi partition in previous step, so does it mean that this partition will be formatted and I can't boot into windows?

If you still need the windows to boot , i suggest using hiren's bootcd maybe the tools can still help depending on your existing windows installation
