I've been shrinking the Windows partition to make space for linux using
Windows Disk Management for years.   There are caveats. See:

One thing I have noticed while on the subject of partitions , is that most partition systems leave some extra space unaccounted for. I free this up with gparted myself. I haven't used windows to shrink a partition for a while and I am sure it does the same thing. Windows reports some space but not all of it, while gparted does report all the space.
