linux - partitioning a hard drive without an OS for dual boot

I'm planning to buy a laptop without a preinstalled OS.I want to install a Linux distro first, then later dual boot it with linux and windows 10 once I purchase a licence. What is the best way to partition the hard drive and still be able keep a separate partition for all my media and data files without formatting it when I install windows?
