This is typical. Much of the intended help is feelings, rather than
explicit directions.

The problem IMO is it asks him to do too many things, some of which he has
never done before. I prefer to work in smaller chunks, but that's just
me.

What version of dfsee? This does not match my experience on any of the
systems I have repaired or setup. I'm talking about versions of dfseen
released in the last year or so.

You description of what to do differs from my standard recommendation and
omits the steps to typical make the process work.

No you don't. Ask those that have resized the Windows partition and then
proceeded to install.

I try not to make too many assumptions. If it's not clear what someone
has done, I ask for clarification. End-users often describe problems as
if the other person is looking over their shoulders. Guessing what I
meant works sometimes. The rest of the time it doesn't.
