I have a Windows install for some games and use WingetUI to install Software and keep my programs up to date. It’s a GUI for Winget, Scoop, Chocolatey, …
NTFS is the standard for Windows. Nowadays Linux can handle reading/writing NTFS pretty well, but you should probably use the very established ext4 or maybe btrfs for its partition.
