    Just try it. Resize your Windows partition with the live USB you are going to use to install Linux and install it to there. Make it your default in your boot manager for a while and see how it goes. You can always have Windows as backup. If you decide to try it, don’t forget that you are going to learn a new OS, not something tries to replace Windows as it is. Just an alternative tool.

      Just make sure your windows drive is not bitlocker encrypted, in which case, you want to resize it using windows.

          resizing filesystems can go wrong.

          Never went wrong with me, but I have also not used it more than 2 times.
          Well, actually it did go wrong once, but that was due to bitlocker. Ubuntu 18 doesn’t detect Windows bitlocker. 22 does.
