About three years ago I set up dual boot, however my SSD died recently and I find myself back to the same point in time.

I reinstalled win 8, upgraded to win 10 home and then I went the extra mile an upgraded to win 10 pro.

If followed the everyday linux guide here

I shrank the volume to free up 70GB for Ubunutu.

I then booted into the 14.04.3 image on a USB stick and clicked install. However, I do not get an install alongside option.

The options are as follows

  1. Erase disk and install Ubuntu
  2. Encrypt the new Ubuntu
  3. Use LVM
  4. Something else

Why am I not seeing install alongside Win 10? Is it ok to just select the something else option?

    You can use the `Something else` and install Ubuntu along side it that way. Good instructions can be found [here](http://askubuntu.com/questions/343268/how-to-use-manual-partitioning-during-installation). Make sure that you install the bootloader to the primary boot drive, i.e. `/dev/sda`. – Terrance Jan 11 '16 at 18:35

Choose Something else and select the partition you created.
Set / (root) as the mount point and select ext4 as the file system.
After installation, select Ubuntu as default system in BIOS.

Important :

Disable hibernation and fast boot in Windows before.
Open command prompt as administrator and execute: 

powercfg /h off

Open the "old" version of Windows Control Panel.
Go to the Power Settings and uncheck Fast startup.
Shut down the computer completely, do NOT reboot.

  • Just going over old questions I asked. I can't remember what I did but this solution looks good so accepting. – SeanJ Mar 15 '19 at 09:01
