I've never had a problem with dual booting both Windows and Linux, and I started doing that in the 1990s. Install Windows first. It will hog the entire drive, so the next step is to shrink its partition to something reasonable. The Windows rescue partition is usually at the end of the disk; you can leave it there. Then install Linux on the newly freed up space. I find a 256GB SSD suitable for me; for your purpose a 128 GB drive should do it. What did you replace the H&R Block program with? -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
