Sudo apt-get install gparted The above command should work fine. If it's not, you can download the file and do it manually also. This question addresses the same problem that you have, you can have a look at 'Unable to locate package' while trying to install packages with APT. Games for windows xp. Open GParted and resize your linux partition(s) in order to have at least 20Gb of free space. Boot on the Windows installation DVD/USB and select 'Unallocated space' to not override your linux partition(s). Finally you have to boot on a Linux live DVD/USB to re-install Grub (the boot loader) as explained here.

I recently built a computer and put LinuxMint 17.3 on it right away. I now have a free copy of Windows 10. I haven't really been able to find detailed instructions on how to install Windows while keeping Linux. I know I have to re-size partitions but I have never really used these tools before and would rather not just mess around with them until I figure it out.
