Hello, before I start, this post will be vague on some levelnfor my privacy, thanks for understanding.

Now onto the main question, that being: how to preserve a very needed and fragile windows ecosystem on a laptop(need it to access certain services) while decreasing the amount the existing partition has and deleting another.

I have one drive 256 GB, with two partitions on it. C:/ and F:/ respectivley. C:/ contains all the windows 10 related stuffs plus few docs and programms, accounting for about 50 GB for some future expansion. While to all my knowledge that F:/ partition has no exact use. What I am asking is, is it possible to decrease the partition C:/ amount of space taken to about 50 GB, delete partition F:/ and then to populate all that with a separate Linux OS? While also not freaking out neither the BIOS nor the Windows as not to fail anything. I have full system and admin rights over it, and access to (though time is resetting to 2001 each time I start, afraid of touching it, doesn't affect windows) BIOS. Once again, it is very important not to break anything and to not freak anything out.

Any input is appreciated, thanks lots!

Want to make a small home server/lab, get jellyfin QBittorrent and other plugins on it to have media hosted by myself, also to make my own Inviduos instance because a lot of them are being targeted right now, shifting IPs works but they still persist.

Have a rasppi4 that I used for some projects, but I think for the amount of storage that I want to put initially and then upscale would be too hard on that little thing. Plus transfer speeds. Also the processing power probably wouldn’t be great for them big movies.

Would want to get a case with the big HDD/SSD cage, some motherboard, a chip that can handle 4K processing and then RAM with expansion(albeit I will start with 8 to 16 gb), then a good power supply so I can handle the bill. So in general I’m looking at old office equipment to get stuff cheap, and efficient in electricity use.

Now to the question, I’m looking for good marketplaces in EU that have that sort of stuff. Anything will be good and if you can give several it would be even better. Thanks a lot!
