Don't do it on a machine that holds valuable data or one that you need the machine to stay functional for work. I repeatedly fucked up my installation trying to get dual boot setup initially. Bootloader are easy to mess up. Even on a working installation, a Windows update would sometimes break the dual boot.

Its not difficult to set up a virtual machine inside your Linux installation. That way you don't have to reboot and lose your other workflow to access your windows apps.

If you can, dual boot by having each OS on a separate physical drive.

This is what I was planning, I added a small nvme drive to my desktop to put Linux on
