3	ext4	200 GB	This is the "\home" directory for my linux install
4	NTFS	200 GB	This is the boot partition for my Windows 10 install
5	NTFS	16 MB	Not sure what this one is for, Windows made it during installation
6	Fat32	30 GB	This is my "Universal" storage, a partition that functions as a place to store any files that I need/want to move between my installs

Process

Following a tutorial to brush up on how to install Arch I:

• Using fdisk I made a new GPT partition table and made:

  1. The EFI partition for the bootloader

  2. The root ( / ) partition for my linux install

  3. The home partition ( /home ) for the install

  4. An empty Fat32 partition for my Windows install I planned to do later

  5. Made the "Universal" Partition to use as storage.
