I had Win10 on my SSD and installed Ubuntu afterwards. All I did was insert an Ubuntu USB and partitioned the disk and installed.

In the meantime, I've read some articles about this and and a few stipulated that I need to partition my disk in Windows first.

Everything is running as expected, but I'm not sure if there is an issue that can occur (e.g. windows does not know that there is Ubuntu and it could use this space)?

Is there a way to fix this?

If everything is running as expected: no, you do not need to repartition the disk from Windows first: Ubuntu is quite capable of reading NTFS partitions.

Windows however does not know anything about EXT4 partitions so it will not use them and display them as "unknown" and as long as you don't delete them from the Windows disk management utility there is no risk neither.

Happy Ubuntu computing! ;-)
