Hi, I have a mbr partition style and use BIOS system. I shrank volume C:\ to make a new partition for linux. Linux partitions are detected as primary partition by windows and they're on the left side of windows's recovery partition. Is it fine? Both windows and linux work without any problem? Thanks.

Hello, I'm independent advisor A&K. I'm glad to be able to help you.
It is not recommended to install Linux and Windows on the same hard disk, because they will overwrite the boot partition of each other. But yours seems to be working well, so there shouldn't be any problems.
I will keep to follow up until the problem is solved. My English is not good. If you don't understand my words, please let me know.
