Sure, you can run Linux alongside Windows on the same machine. Expect to switch between the two operating systems smoothly, but be aware of compatibility issues and system requirements.

It's feasible. Be aware Windows can interfere with GRUB and disrupt your Linux startup, particularly when both systems share a drive with an EFI partition. This leads me to my first concern—will you consider using separate drives? My second point is whether secure boot is required. The final question is about the Linux distribution you intend to use.

You should manually separate the files. If Windows tries to wipe GRUB, stay calm and learn a bit about the issue—recovery is possible. Turn off hibernation and fast startup to prevent data loss and hardware issues like WiFi not working properly. Ubuntu includes secure boot by default, while Arch requires generating keys and signing the kernel manually (not easy for beginners). You're in good shape.
