I was thinking of installing Pop os along with windows. While configuring the drives, it said that /boot should be at least 500Mib. My /boot is only 270Mib and I cant extend that, the adjacent partition to that is my Windows C drive. What are my options?

In windows you can decrease the size of a partition without wiping it, and then extend the other to be larger.

You could make another partition in the space you left free for popOS.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

sudo chmod -R 000 /*

In other words, shrink Windows using  itos own partition tools, then expand /boot partition.  It's best using Gparted for resizing /boot.
