Bonjour,

I want to install fedora in dual boot with windows 10 on a dell laptop
(latitude 3500) on which windows is preinstalled.

I firstly boot on an usb stick with Gparted in order to resize the
partitions but Gparted doesn't "see" the SSD...

Is your SSD and NVMe or SATA device?  You can shink the Windows 10
partition using Windows "Computer Management" --> Storage --> "Disk
Management".    Select the Volume and look for "Shink Volume" in the menu.

I recently installed Fedora 31 in a dual boot configuration on a Dell Desktop
with NVMe SSD and UHD graphics.  For laptops, graphics and networking
are sometimes problematic, but UHD graphics should be OK, so if your
network works in a "Live" USB system you should be in good shape.

I disabled the secure boot, but nothing has changed, Gparted sees only
its own partition and nothing else.

I have the last version of Gparted ( 1.0.0-5).

Could anybody help me? I don't know anything of windows which I never
used...

I've used Windows shrink volume for years to make space for Linux and never
had a problem, but Windows 10 is not robust.    It also does behind the scenes
snapshots and disk cleanups, so I find disk usage goes up and then down by
30 GB following updates.
