You'll see a final warning that Scandisk and Defrag should be performed on a drive before resizing a Windows partition.

And as always, make sure you have backed up any important data that you cannot afford to lose before proceeding.

Select a smaller size for the Windows partition by dragging the slider, then press 'OK'; the new Linux partitions will be created from the free space.
