Split your HDD into two partitions—one on one installation and another on a different Windows system. Add the bootloader, and you’ll see how it functions!

Before setting it up, try running it straight from a USB stick to test its performance. Once confirmed, download a free partition and reduce its size. In reality, I’d prefer purchasing a compact 120GB SSD instead.

Grub handles it and comes with your Linux distribution.

To get started with Linux while staying on Windows, you can activate the Windows Subsystem for Linux. After enabling it, you can install various Linux distributions like Ubuntu and begin learning from there. Since you don’t have a graphical interface, you’ll need to rely on tutorials that help set up xWindows Server in Windows and then use WSL to access it. Some applications might behave differently because they weren’t designed for that setup, but most should function properly. It’s worth mentioning that GPU acceleration isn’t available yet; it’s expected to be added in a future update of Windows 10, which may also include GUI support. I personally use WSL (specifically WSL2) at work every day for software development.
