What I'm going to tell is not the answer to your question; it's just an
outside-the-box consideration on your goal.

As you may know, the main goal of the qubes project is a big forward
leap in workstation security, and this is achieved through multiple
layers of isolation.

One of these layers relies on hardware integrity and side channel
attacks (i.e. attacks not done on a live qubes system), hence the
general discouragement on dual booting it with anything else.

Since you say that you are new to Qubes, I'd guess you jumped in with
the wrong approach: just another OS to try. This approach is fine by
itself, but the method to successfully try Qubes is not dual booting,
but using the live usb distro.

TL;DR: if you want to try qubes, don't dual boot it, but use the Live
USB instead. If you like Qubes, but want to keep Windows, then you are
not sure you like Qubes. In this case, keep a separate computer for
windows use and install Qubes on a different computer. If you do really
really like qubes, you may want to try a Windows HVM inside of an
installation. Don't dual boot it unless you are a solution developer /
integrator, or have a really strong motive to defeat its main purpose
(security) and just want to play around.
