Hey there, I see you're trying to combine Windows 10 with Ubuntu on the same system. It sounds tricky when you're trying to allocate specific space, especially with the partition size restrictions. You mentioned some research suggests encryption might be the issue, but no clear solution is offered. Maybe checking your disk partition settings or consulting advanced BIOS/UEFI options could help. Let me know if you want more guidance! Thanks for sharing your link.

Take the drive out... if it's encrypted, the software can't understand the data format and can't adjust partitions without reformatting it. (unless you're using an OS that already unlocked the drive)

Begin by installing Windows, followed by Linux. To reduce the partition size, first compress the file system, then the encrypted container, and finally the partition inside the Luks container.

Warning: Outcomes may differ. Success varies sometimes. Ensure you save all your information prior to trying this. If you're unsure about preserving your Linux partition, erase the drive, install Windows, then set up Linux. Decrypt the drive and use GParted to form an NTFS partition (BACK UP EVERYTHING!). After that, start from the Windows installer, but fix the boot manager (swap GRUB for Windows boot loader). Once installed, try reinstalling GRUB Bootloader. Possible issues include MGR Boot Loader problems—follow the suggested fixes.

I neglected to modify this discussion, yet I finally installed Windows again and then added Linux. It was simpler and safer.
