If you must dual boot then be sure you understand a few things. One is how to make a disaster recovery plan of Windows. Then you must know UEFI and secure boot and if your distro choice will allow that. Lastly is the normal goofy uefi problems that may be unique to your bios.

Many of the most popular distro's have a "live" dvd or usb to try.
