If you have bitlocker, resize the partition from inside windows or turn it off.
If you don’t have bit locker, make a backup and do it in the Linux installer.
People will say you gotta have a different drive to keep windows from fucking up your bootloader, I’ve seen it mess up grub on a different drive. It’s better to know that this is going to happen and prepare for it by looking up your distros grub reinstallation process from usb boot than to try to avoid it altogether.
Linux can read windows partitions (if you don’t have bitlocker) and windows can read Linux partitions with a driver. I used to keep a second drive as a dmz/storage device.
I just switched to a completely virtualised windows instead of dual booting. Feels good.
