Get a new drive, install Linux on new drive, be too lazy to move all your shit from windows to Linux so just use your windows as a scuffed way to store everything else.
Benefit is you don’t lose your windows drive so you can always go back
The bad thing is windows doesn’t let you see into your Linux drive even though Linux can see into your windows drive so it forces you to move your files to windows fully if you don’t like linux
Or do like me and install to a 200gb partition, then carve down the window partition to create a third partition to keep new files, repeat untill you have 5 partitions on your drive. After that, find that you haven’t touched windows in forever and wipe it now that everything is spread between an unethical amount of partitions.

At least I can give them funny names
my folder management is so bad but yours might just be worse.
For context mine is:

Don’t give me plausible reasons to boot back into windows
