Better go the safe route.

Yea but that’s boring, it’s more fun to YOLO it! Shrink the windows partition from Linux, create the new Linux partition and install, then move everything over from the NTFS partition to Linux, delete it then expand the Linux partition.

Ez-Pz and the added pressure makes it more fun! Lol

Sorry but downvoted. If you delete your thesis or your family photos while trying to install Linux w/o backup, there is no turning back.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
