Re: Shrink DIsk linux mint
First that screenshot is low res and not of much help.
That aside, you are - I think - talking about creating an additional partition for installing Windows 10.
If you don;t know how to do this, then if I were you I would read all the cautionary threads on here about dual-boot installs.
In short, completely avoid it.
How do I know? I was in very much the same boat recently.

Re: Shrink DIsk linux mint
maybe just plan a bit smarter 
ie: if there is little of value in the LinuxMint system - - then just erase it & start again.
1/ boot an LinuxMint live environment & delete all the existing partitions
2/ then create 1 - 2 partitions for win-10 & 2 - 3 partitions for LinuxMint.
3/ boot the win-10 install disk & install that system
4/ boot the win-10 and check that it works ok.
5/ boot the LinuxMint install disk & install that system
6/ boot the LinuxMint and check that it works ok.
7/ apply any updates to win-10 & check that both systems still work ok.
8/ apply any updates to LinuxMint & check that both systems still work ok.
and allow an entire day - - to do all of that lot.
