Kali Linux can be set up next to a Windows installation with good results. But when setting everything up, you need to be careful. To begin with, confirm that you have backed up any crucial data on your Windows system. This backup should be kept on external storage because you'll be changing your hard drive. Once you've finished creating the backup, we advise reading our article for installing Kali Linux from a hard drive, which outlines the typical steps for a straight-forward Kali Linux installation.

• Creating Partition.

We'll use Windows 10pro as an example device, which now occupies all of the disk space on our PC, so we'll install Kali Linux alongside it. Our present Windows partition will first be shrunk to save space, after which Kali Linux will be set up on the newly formed empty disk.

The step by step process Is given below:

Press Windows+S key or click search icon from taskbar. Then search for "Disk management."

       2. Select Your Preferable Drive you wanna part. (I recommend "D").                   Then right click on mouse and select shrink volume.

 3. Then select How many GB are you willing to give, In          my case I'm parting 60 GB. And click "Shrink."

 

IT will make a partition Named FREE SPACE. like the image below, then we done for now.

Now we need to make our kali ready,I mean ISO, for that now open the tool Rufus

                 we downloaded,

               First plug-in your USB drive and then open Rufus with administration permission. and select the kali ISO you downloaded. And remember to select file system as NTFS. and hit START.

In the next pop-up select DD image mode.It will decrease the error rate.

wait for time until it shows READY.

   SHUT DOWN YOUR DEVICE.

Plug in your bootable USB device.

Turn your device on and press "ESC" to go startup menu.(kyes should be vary due to device differences)

Then go to your device's boot menu by function key. in my case it's F9. (HP)

Select The boot device and hit "Enter".It will take you to Kali boot Options. select Graphical Install.

Select language.

Select location.

Select keyboard layout, It will then start installing.

Then it will detect network hardware, select your preferred one.(waln0/in-built wifi adapter recommended).And then connect to your wifi or hotspot network.

Then just follow the pictures to fill name,passwords and configuring the clock.

In the next step the installer will start scanning your disk, then it will land on Asking  the option for disk partition. from which you have to select "manual" ,from now on please pay attention at 110%.

In the partition menu you will see this options, from there select the free space we shrink before.

 

Now follow the pictures given below.

Now just un-plug the installation media or the USB and reboot.

You will see the kali GRUB boot menu.
