You're trying to create a unified partition that works for both Windows 10 and Linux Mint. It's possible but requires careful planning. You may need to use tools like GParted or Disk Management to combine the partitions into one shared drive, ensuring both OSes can access it properly.
I believe any FAT32 area can be exchanged... However, most Windows areas are currently NTFS
Linux handles NTFS quite effectively nowadays, and most dual-boot setups I've used kept the Windows partition mapped within Linux.
Linux supports reading and writing NTFS partitions. Many current Linux distributions include the ntfs-3g/fuse driver.
Home directory sharing typically occurs between two Linux systems. This guide employs the ntfs-3g package for NTFS detection on Linux and the fstab file to automatically mount the Windows partition during system startup. https://thenciee.wordpress.com/2013/08/2...and-linux/ For setting up Windows, refer to this tutorial. https://www.howtogeek.com/112888/3-ways-...m-windows/
an alternative approach is to create an SMB share on any distribution where you map or mount a disk using the diserd volume on your Windows machine. Ensure it's formatted with FAT32 or NTFS since Linux can read Windows but not other formats. Then set up a "share volume" on your Windows PC and map it on Linux—it should function properly.
Follow the instructions carefully. Identify any mistakes in your process. Prepare the steps for installing Windows 10, then shrink the volume to add a partition for Linux installation. In the setup wizard, ensure two partitions are created: one for Swap, Home, and Root (please confirm the file system), and another for NTFS. Let the setup complete and restart your system. After reboot, check if the NTFS partition is recognized automatically by Windows. Your questions about NTFS-3g and FUSE are noted; they help manage NTFS partitions on Linux.
