Windows doesn't respect Linux partitions, best to have on separate drives.

This! Or depending on how old of a laptop we're talking, install windows in a virtual machine.

Windows 10 had a portable 'version', I'm not sure if it is still available in win11 but you may want to look it up, preferably before nuking your current installation (you need a working windows installation to create a portable one).

It's old by laptop standards. I got in 2013 (and it was already "used" then). I think I'll look up the specs and see what's suggested. I like mint, but ubuntu is fine too. Right now it's booted a lubuntu USB live boot and is very fast, at least compared to what it was.
