You're facing a common issue when combining Pop OS with Windows. The requirement for a minimum 500MB on `/boot` can be tricky since your existing setup only has 270MB. Your options include:

- Check if you can resize the partition further (though it may not be possible).
- Consider using a larger drive or expanding the existing one.
- Explore alternative boot configurations, such as using a different partition or adjusting the boot order.
- If possible, upgrade your Windows installation to a version that supports larger partitions.

On Windows you can shrink a partition without erasing it, then grow the remaining space to make it bigger.

You might create a new division in the unused area you reserved for popOS.

In short, reduce Windows with its own partition utilities, then grow the /boot section. Using Gparted is recommended for adjusting /boot.
