I have an HP Elite with Windows 10.
The result of searching suggests that one can shrink the C:

even while running Windows.
Is this correct?
If not, would someone be kind enough
to point to the preoper procedure?

I search the web for windows shrink partition and found a lots of results.

This one from microsoft support is a good starting point https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-support-how-to-re-partition-without-destroying-the-data-c3d64de0-4672-b21f-de4e-b4908fb35ae3

I cannot recall the exact steps i used in the past, but the online shrink is safe on windows.
