If I understand correctly you want to have one computer that either boots Linux or Windows. No matter what OS is running other computers need to access the a share on that computer correct? If yes. It is possible but not strait forward and I need you to answer a few questions. * Is this in an AD environment and is the computer joined to the AD? * Do you need complex ACLs on the share? * Should the share always be reachable with the same address/name? With those answers we can go forward.

[Samba] Samba in a dual boot environment
Correct you described it perfectly. On the 3 items the answer is no on the first two, and not sure on the last. However as you and the previous response implied, it doesn't seem like a straight forward or even logical thing to do. We sensed it might be a convenient and cost-effect way to share files between the two operating systems, but we can also use Dropbox. Regards Sent with Proton Mail secure email.
