Thank you. You describe something like what lvxferre linked (possibly while you were typing this answer) the Windows Debloat script. It looks promising.

Yes when I had dual it worked exactly as you describe, with Linux being able to read and write on Windows partition but not the other way around, which was handy. I do remember switching back and forth was a bit of a pain though, and I ended up using windows for the most part. Graphics is 80% of what I use my computer for after all.
