Back when I dual booted I had so many issues and things to look out for not to break the system, and distro hopping is difficult etc.. just get rid of windows
try Ubuntu, Mint, or Pop!_OS.
Mint and pop are basically ubuntu. For the end user, especially a beginner, there's 0 difference between them.
Either way, If I want to have a windows install, it's either
in a vm
on a different physical disk that is kept physically unplugged from the motherboard until it is needed and then I'll plug it in while unseating the Linux drives and any other drives windows does not need access to
I highly discourage dual booting as a novice.

It will depend on the update.
