How would you recommend that I use my Windows 10 NTFS partitions from Linux Mint in a dual boot system? I've been googling around and can't find anything that's either not in beta, or only supports EXT2.

The FUSE ntfs driver was the best one when I last tried, but looks like a newer kernel driver has been merged which supports read and write. I'd still do readonly if you plan to mount Windows' C: drive.

If you switch to the 5.15 kernel (search for HWE in Software Manager), that kernel series includes a modern NTFS driver, and it should be mountable easily.
 
Whatever you decide, make sure you don't have any sort of hibernate enabled in Windows.

You might find some of the NTFS tools included with the ntfs-3g package (on Debian) helpful. I don't know offhand how well they've been maintained, but ntfsclone came in handy for creating filesystem images in the past.
Code: 
$ dpkg -L ntfs-3g
