That's easy and it's not important if you add WIN10 or WIN11 as a second OS.
512 GB is not much. Is there any port for a 2nd disk? Sata or M.2?
I would go for a solution with 2 disks. I know that some people prefer a second ESP-Partition as well. That's not your way. But you can prepare a 2nd disk being EFI ready and I could give you a diskpart MS-script to configure it properly.
Beside that you can watch some YouTube videos to get familar with the procedure.
