You want to set up a Windows system to also be able to boot to Linux. To be able to dual boot, the system needs a partition on which to install Linux. However, you don't have an extra hard disk that can be used for the Linux partition. The existing disk has no unpartitioned space available, but it has about 300 GB of free space. Which of the following disk management operations will BEST prepare your hard disk for dual boot in this scenario?
Shrink the primary partition.
Convert the disk from basic to dynamic.
Convert the disk from physical to logical partitions.
Reformat the disk with the partitions needed for a dual boot system.
Which Windows tool can you use to determine the amount of space available to shrink a volume?
Disk Management
Computer Management
chkdsk /r
chkdsk /f
Which of the following Windows command line utilities would you use to realign the file structure on a disk to optimize performance?
defrag

The system volume must be on a basic disk.
The volume must be spanned to use disk space on a different disk.
