It's technically possible but not recommended as the NTFS format has some quirks under Linux. Give yourself the best chance at everything working and do full reinstalls after a format.

"Has some quirks" is putting it mildly. I had a couple of drives that I thought were dead because I kept getting errors. I reformatted them to ext4 and they were fine.
