So, I started the installer as I normally would, nothing fancy or out of the world,
Chose to install alongside Windows, and chose 60Gb for Solus and the Rest for Windows.
I have done this by pressing the + & - buttons next to the Windows line.
At the end I did notice that resizing the Windows Partition took more than usual, but blamed it on the slow computer, so slow that Linux on it is a Necessity more than a Want.
Something happened which caused Solus not to show up on the Boot menu, which I was sorting through a Reddit Post, and just to make sure I was writing the right path in the terminal, I opened Gparted and saw that Windows has 60Gb and Solus has the rest.
This is the first time it happened, and did not occur when (just a couple days ago) I installed Solus alongside Windows on another laptop.
Not too big a deal, I can sort it out, but quite the unexpected behaviour.
If anyone needs more info, don't hesitate to ask.
I just pasted some basic info below:
