I know I don't have to start this with I'm new, you can already tell lol but I just want to make sure I will not cause any problems having files on there I'm confused trying to answer this on my own, thanks for any help in advance! I deleted windows and ignorantly extended my boot partition to take up all of the space and now realize I should have separated the two just curious if it's safe to use it like this

Tools like GParted should be able to safely reduce the size of the partition so you can add a second. (Always backup data in case)

Oh okay, I used gparted to do this I just thought making the partition smaller now would possibly ruin my boot, thank you!
