I'm currently dual-booting Kali and windows 10 - the only problems I've run into relate to no sound when I reboot from Kali to win (I need to shut down and power on again - no idea why, and not that much of a drag TBH).....

HOWEVER - be aware the pretty much every time there's a major windows update (such as the April 2018 one recently), windows will probably screw up your boot loader meaning you can't boot either - apparently it's been an issue since the windows 7 days, but MS aren't fixing it - windows assumes it's the only OS and overwrites GRUB.....it's pretty simple to fix, but does require some searching to find the correct incantations lol...

If you just want to user Linux, and your processor supports it (most do), then I'd suggest switching on hyper-v and installing to a VM.....or even Windows Subsystem for Linux - not the full smash, but close enough to learn the terminal etc...
C# has already designed away most of the tedium of C++.
