I did this last fall, I may still have notes with links somewhere. I
think I did resize the EFI and recovery and the main Windows partitions
to have enough space for Linux system and boot files on the respective
partitions. I had no issues with the Debian installation even though it
was my first UEFI machine.

My desktop upgrade this winter was second UEFI experience and there
things were more complicated since I converted it from BIOS boot to UEFI
boot and it has Windows 10 and Debian and Arch. Windows didn't actually
survive the changes in HW, no problems with the actual conversion
though.

As for secure boot, I tried it with the laptop and it worked fine,
except Linux (or at least Debian 11) doesn't yet support hibernation
with secure boot so I turned secure boot off.
