(I don't necessarily need Windows as VM.) Please also suggest if this is feasible.
If you run the Windows Command Prompt as Admin, type "diskmgmt" and the Disk Management window will open. You can also get to Disk Management from the Windows Control Panel. It offers options to shrink the volume. It also recommends you first run the Windows Defragment routine on the volume before you try to shrink it. Good Luck
