It seems unlikely Windows 10 will fulfill your needs directly. You might consider setting up Windows 7 separately or using a virtual machine to achieve the desired functionality. That’s one possible approach.

Thank you, hoping my luck is on your side before I return. Also, considering a third-party app for my office setup.

Paragon and Acronis Disk Manager offer the features you require. Running Windows 7 might be more affordable if you maintain proper security measures.

I believe relying solely on a Linux live environment with GParted is the best approach

You might consider using DISKPART through the command line. For quick typists, skipping the disk management wizard is likely faster and avoids those annoying pop-ups. Listing disks with diskpart, selecting the clean partition, converting the GPT, creating a primary partition, setting the format to NTFS, assigning it, and then formatting it should work smoothly—unless you're connecting drives during a shutdown or restart, in which case Windows may prompt for formatting.
