Help with installation dualboot with Win 10

Hi.

I would like to have dualboot with Windows 10, because playing game with Wine or VirtualBox is impractical for me.

Windows 10 Installer made its own layout of the partitions.

Name                                          Total size     Free space    Type
Drive 0 Partition 1: Recovery      450MB        433MB           Recovery
Drive 0 Partition 2                       100MB        95MB             System
Drive 0 Partition 3                       16MB          16MB             MSR (Reserved)
Drive 0 Partition 4                       931GB        931GB           Primary

Is it OK?

What is Recovery and Partition 3? Partition 2 is some like /boot?

Hello archnewbieno,

Is it OK?

Probably not, I guess there is no more space for the root partition. Please post the output of `lsblk`.
In general it is a good idea to have Windows first allocate disk space for itself, but you must make sure that there is enough space left for Arch. You can for example use this.

What is Recovery and Partition 3?

Windows stuff. "Recovery" sounds like something that is accessed in case you mess up your Windows system. Duckduckogo tells me that MSR is a placeholder partition. Certainly you could have researched that yourself...

Partition 2 is some like /boot?

That would be that ESP.

Why don't you just follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Du … th_Windows and report back if you encounter _specific_ issues and please provide _detailed_ information...
