I'm planning on adding a dual-booting section to my guide on how to install Linux and I need some input from people who are dual booting Windows and Linux:
-
How did you allocate the partition for Linux? Did you use Disk Management from Windows or did you allocate the partition as part of the installation process?
-
How do you share data between the two partitions? Do you create a third partition that both OS partitions have access to? Do you use external drives/flash drives? Or do you just have no need to share data between the two drives?
Make sure that enough space will be available and then allocate it from the Linux installation.
I haven't used a shared partition like you say, I'm not sure if it's possible or even a good idea to begin with
