I want to install Ubuntu but I am afraid that I won't be able to go back to Windows. Is there any way I can use Ubuntu and go back to Windows?

  • Do you mean Dual Booting your system? Something like https://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/how-do-i-install-ubuntu-alongside-a-pre-installed-windows-with-uefi ? – Terrance Feb 20 '19 at 14:07

    Ubuntu is not an application that you can "exit". It's an Operating System, a peer of Windows. The terms you are using are unclear. If you merely want to try Ubuntu without commitment, then look up how to create a LiveUSB. – user535733 Feb 20 '19 at 14:51
  • It's off topic here to post it as an answer because it's windows specific way. You can install https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 then install `xming`https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ to run a ubuntu application on Windows.

Depends on what you want to do in Ubuntu. You could set up a virtual machine in Windows.
