    Better go the safe route.

    Yea but that’s boring, it’s more fun to YOLO it! Shrink the windows partition from Linux, create the new Linux partition and install, then move everything over from the NTFS partition to Linux, delete it then expand the Linux partition.

    Ez-Pz and the added pressure makes it more fun! Lol

      Sorry but downvoted. If you delete your thesis or your family photos while trying to install Linux w/o backup, there is no turning back.
