Installing Ubuntu 18 alongside Windows 10 with HD access

Specs: Windows 10, i7 cpu/ 16 gigs of ram
Right now I have Ubuntu on a USB stick and I can still access my Windows 10 C drive.

I know that I can install Ubuntu 18 on an external HD, but I may have to set Secure Boot to disabled according to instructions I found online.

My question is this. If I disable secure boot, which disables UEFI will I still be able to access files on Windows 10, and have a decent chance at using WINE or PlayonLinux to use Windows based programs?

PS: I did a search, but I didn't find anything.

Why not create a VM? Oracle Virtual Box is free, and the VM would be fairly simple to setup.

Doing the best I can here... And remember, there's always more than one path to success. :)
