![]() ![]() It may take some time to go to the next step. You may do it after the installation completes. No need to download updates or install third-party software just yet. On the next screen, choose Normal installation. Choose your language / Choose keyboard layout You choose the language and keyboard layout. Step 6: Installing Ubuntu along with Windows 10 You can opt for either option based on your preference. The “Install Ubuntu” option will start the Ubuntu installation immediately. The option to install Ubuntu can be found on the desktop. The ‘Try Ubuntu without installing’ option allows you to experience Ubuntu from the live disk. You should see a screen like this after a few seconds: ![]() Now it will power off your system and reboot into the disk you chose which should be the live USB disk. It may also be displayed as EFI USB Device. Recognize the USB disk with its name and size. On the next screen, click on ‘Use a device’: Go to the Advanced startup option and click on Restart now button. ![]() In the Windows menu, search for UEFI and then click on ‘Change advanced startup options’: The longer but an easier step is to access the UEFI boot settings from within Windows. You can go to the boot settings by pressing F2/F10 or F12 at the system start time and selecting to boot from the USB. However, if your system doesn’t allow booting from live USB or if you see any other related issue, you may disable the secure boot on Windows.Īlright! Let’s see how to boot from the USB. Usually, you should not need to do anything about it. Thankfully, Ubuntu and many other Linux distributions currently support secure boot very well. Before you go and boot from the live USB, let’s have a quick word about the infamous secure boot.ĭo I need to disable the secure boot for installing Linux?Ħ-8 years back, the UEFI secure boot was not well-supported by Linux hence, you had to disable secure boot before installing Linux. You may also choose to delete the D, E or F drive. If you have D, E or F drive, you may shrink one of those drives. This is a common confusion for many people as they think Ubuntu can only be installed on the C drive. If you have more disk space, allocate even more free space, if you want. If you have 250 GB disk, allocate 60-80 GB or even more. In that case, go for 30-40 GB of disk for Linux. These days, you should have at least 120 GB of disk. You may install Ubuntu on 15 or 20 GB but you’ll soon start running out of disk space. This depends on how much total disk space you have. How much space do you need for Linux in dual boot? In my case, I shrank the C drive to make some free space for Linux installation. The primary partition was the C drive, around 220 GB, where Windows 10 is installed. The 256 GB in my system already had several partitions from the manufacturer but mainly for backup and other purposes. Use any of them except C drive if you have several partitions of considerable size because it may erase the data. If you have just one partition like this, you need to make some free space out of it for Linux. In the Disk Management tool, right-click on the drive which you want to partition and select shrink volume. In the Windows menu, search for ‘disk partitions’ and go to ‘Create and format hard disk partitions.’ This is why making the required free space on the disk would be better before starting the installation procedure. In many systems, while installing Ubuntu, it gives the option to make a disk partition for Ubuntu. Step 4: Make some free space on your disk for Ubuntu installation But the rest of the process takes on the system on which you are dual booting. Installing Ubuntu and creating the live Ubuntu USB process can be done on any computer. If you have such a system, please follow this tutorial to dual boot with Bitclocker encryption. If your system uses legacy BIOS with MBR partitioning system, please follow this dual boot tutorial.īitlocker encryption process is different: Newer systems with Windows 10 Pro have their disk encrypted with Bitlocker. However, there is no harm in verifying that your system uses UEFI. If you have bought your system in the last 5-6 years, chances are that you should already have a UEFI system on GPT partition. Make sure your system uses UEFI: This tutorial is only applicable for systems with UEFI boot. Please check whether your system uses GPT or MBR. This tutorial is suitable for systems that come with Windows 10 pre-installed with UEFI secure boot and GPT partitioning system. Dual boot Ubuntu Linux with Windows 10 Compatibility checks The steps mentioned here apply to other Ubuntu versions such as Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu-based Linux distributions such as Linux Mint, elementary OS, etc. Once you have a good idea about the procedure and have all the necessary things on hand, start the process. See what you need and what you should do in this tutorial. Before you start following the tutorial, I advise reading it entirely first. ![]()
