Install Arch in dual boot with windows 10

Hello everyone,


I've always been using Linux both on my personal (Arch Linux) and work machines, but on this new job i've been forced to use windows.

And it was fine at the begging using Windows Susbsystem for Linux, but with docker and all the things I need to run, its just become a pain, ad my computer is now slow as hell and the fan does not stop spiing.

So I got a legit reason to install Arch on it, yay!

So the laptop is a Dell 5884, from live booting my Tails live usb everything works out of the box, even the dock!

Now I do have some requiriments:

I needs to be have to dual boot, and it need to able to boot windows all the time, with time i may remove windows completely but now I do need to get over it.

The laptop does have UEFI

And this is my disk layout

/dev/sda3    1288192 499097599 497809408 237.4G Microsoft basic data

So how do I resize the partions and still kee windows on booting?

Thank you in advance,

Re: Install Arch in dual boot with windows 10

So after some more research, I found that the best way to shrink the windows 10 partition is trough windows itself.


But there quitse some improvements that you can make to allow to shrink more size:

  1. Disbale Hibernate

  2. Disable pagefile

  3. Disable system proctection

  4. Defrag the disk with deffragler

  5. Shrink using the disk management

More information on how I did it here https://superuser.com/questions/1017764 … -partition
