The wikis are very good: https://wiki.cachyos.org/installation/installation_prepare/
And more general info: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Main_page
They’re official, so that’s the first place to look.
But in general, I guess it depends on what you already know and have. Do you have a laptop with a single disk? Or a desktop with more than one? Do you know anything about disk partitioning and such? Do you want to clean install Windows, or keep it as-is?
My solution to dual booting Windows today would be to generally follow the wiki guide, use refind as your bootloader, KDE as your desktop, read up on partitioning, and make a second EFI partition to install CachyOS onto.
To simplify, an EFI partition is the “thing that your motherboard uses to boot into your operating system,” so you just make two of them so they can’t touch each other.
This is less convenient; if something messes up, you might have to mash a function key on boot to switch between Windows/Linux. But it heads off several potential issues. Like Windows Update messing with EFI randomly so Linux won’t boot (which it rarely does), or your default Windows EFI partition being too small (which it probably is).
