It's easier than you've been led to believe and you totes can figure it out. The installer on the Virtual Desktop will pretty much automatically set up your partitioning for you. If you are using Mint it has a nice GUI partition wizard (with sliders) in the installer that is very specific about what will go where. Mint's installer usually recognises if you are dual booting with Windows on the same drive (although its been a minute since I dual booted). The rest depends on how much space you have free on your drive.
You want to give your Linux desktop partition upwards of 60gb, depending on what you will be doing. 300gb at least if you plan on using steam + games. But only you can truly know! ;) If you back everything up then obs you won't lose anything. Have fun and just go one step at a time and move as fast as your comfortable with. Hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is.
