dual boot - How to make partitions after installing Ubuntu using "Erase everything on the drive and install Ubuntu" option

I have a 750GB sata hard drive. I have installed Ubuntu using the option "Erase everything on the drive and install Ubuntu". Now the installation is completed and I have a big partition of almost 745Gb.




  • size: 745 GB — 722 GB free (3.2% full)

  • device: /dev/sda2

  • partition type: Linux Filesystem

  • Content: Ext4 (version 1.0) — Mounted at Filesystem Root



There's also a swap partition:





  • size: 4.2 GB (4,220,518,400 bytes)

  • device: /dev/sda3

  • partition type: Linux Swap

  • Content: Swap (version 1) — Active



I don't know whether Ubuntu is installed in it or not. I want from the remaining 722GB, 600GB to create two or three different partitions.




Can I make these new partitions in such a way that in future if I want to install Windows for a dual-boot it will be possible to do so?
