The Ubuntu installer can handle the partitioning process. Load an 18.04 ISO onto a USB drive and start from there, then go through the visual prompts. If your Windows setup is recognized automatically, it will let you adjust the allocation of space for each operating system. p.s. If the standard Ubuntu doesn’t suit you, consider using KDE Neon—it’s essentially Ubuntu with a distinct desktop that feels more like Windows, while remaining highly customizable.

Confirm it can be resolved, though it's quite challenging. I stopped trying to dual boot Arch right away because of this issue. You could create a separate home partition and format it using exFAT, but I'm not sure if the Ubuntu installer supports that. It might be useful if you need to share files between the two systems, but I doubt it's built in. For safety, I usually let Windows adjust its partition instead. Still, make sure to back up any important data before proceeding @simberdavid

Thanks for the assistance everyone. I actually just created this desktop and didn’t have any crucial files. I’ll give it a try eventually. If it works, I’ll share it here.

Another option is to use WSL which is built into Win10. It's pretty simple, just enter one command, reboot, then install Ubuntu from the windows store. Here's how . You don't get the Linux GUI but pretty much everything else is there, it's a good way to learn Linux and is a useful tool if you want it to be. As a developer I use WSL at work and it's like having the best of both worlds.
