I would also suggest that after shrinking windows, you boot it to verify that it still boots and run chkdsk on the windows partition.

Ok, I HAVE to ask this. What is the deal with downloading LEAP through the windows 10 store and going about that method vs duel boot? Does it have a Gui and can you configure it like 'normal' opensuse? I can't find any screen shots. It looks like simply a command line interface.

That is WSL - these days it runs a M$oft modified mainstream Linux kernel in a light-weight VM guest. Make sure you follow all the doco to enable WSL2. It is not a full Linux but after installing a Desktop Environment (DE aka GUI) should be fine for day-to-day use. I recently updated a very old Ubuntu install from when it was first announced to WSL2 and it seems to run ok. No good for me as I wanted to play with tracing in kernel space.

YMMV.

So did you get the windows 10 installed? Does it boot successfully? Do you have an EFI partition? Are you planning to install OpenSuse again? If so, before trying it, make sure you go to the Power Settings in the Control Panel and turn off hibernation and as suggested above, shrink your windows partition to create unallocated space for OpenSuse and reboot windows to verify it boots and again, run chkdsk from windows to verify no problems.

As far as WSL, the post above briefly explains it. I've not used it but haven't read much positive about it and I'm not sure it is what you want. Good luck.

I got it installed after making the mod suggestions.. Thanks all!!!
