If you “may” use windows you are on the right track. If you will use windows, especially more frequently also maybe consider a dual-boot solution. Either way these are not permanent decisions and can be redone later if needed. Just remember to backup those files!
“If you will use windows, especially more frequently also maybe consider a dual-boot solution.”
Dual boot is a great option. Most Linux installers will create all the partitions and do it all for you in a couple clicks. They will of course make Linux the primary OS that auto boots. But if you would rather have Windows be the primary boot OS there is a simple line edit in a config file that will do that for you that changes the boot order in the boot menu.
I have a dual boot box with Linux Mint over/alongside Windows 7 and it works great. You can even access and manipulate the windows volume’s files and folders when booted in the Linux. Been working great with no problems for over six years now. And because I never use windows to access the net I don’t have any problems with it at all.
