depends on how you'll use it. i keep windows as main because compatibility but i would say give linux about 50 gb just so you ha have a place to save things.

Ok, honest answer:
Just get rid of windows. Dualbooting is a pain in ass. It costs me almost 1 year of lifetime.
But maybe some things changed. Does win10 support ext4 or xfs? The lack of file system support of win was ever the cause to fuck up dualboot.
You have to format your shared data partition with estate (no permission management at all) or NTFS (NT and Unix permission compatibility sucks) Or you install ext4 „drivers“ on win that maybe fucksup your data.

What I do is dualboot and give windows the biggest partition. I leave around 50GB for windows, and then use the windows partition as a storage disk for linux too. With a trick for the filesystem thing. I create empty files at around 30GB each in it and then from linux combine them as a LVM volume and then mount and use it as such. When more space is needed, I create another such file and add it to the LVM volume, efectively growing it.
| I meant I leave 50GB for linux. So basically that for linux, a 16GB for linux swap, and everything else for windows.
