I'm trying to do a dual boot setup on my laptop with both Ubuntu and Windows.

First I installed Windows. And when I clicked the OP button all the space left for Ubuntu was merged with a partition and space was allocated automatically.

If I install Ubuntu, I have to keep that 10% of space at the end of the Ubuntu allocation space? Or at the end of the Windows allocated space?

When I had both of them installed the OP button wasn't working, so I had to manually set unallocated space via GParted.

It doesn't make any difference. Any unallocated space on the SSD, no matter where it is located, will be used as overprovisioned space.

Sure every drive has some "hidden" overprovisioned space thats set from the factory but many people like to increase that.
