Install Ubuntu
Whether it was already there or you worked through the steps above, at this point you
have Windows installed. Now use the Ubuntu installation media you created earlier to
boot into Ubuntu. Insert the media and boot your computer from it. Again, the exact
sequence of keys to access the boot menu varies from one computer to another, so
check your documentation if you're not sure. If all goes well, you see the following
screen once the media finishes loading:

Here, you can select between Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu. Don't install just yet;
instead, click Try Ubuntu. After it finishes loading, you should see the Ubuntu desktop.

By clicking Try Ubuntu, you opt to try out Ubuntu before you install it. Here, in Live
mode, you can play around with Ubuntu and make sure everything works before you
commit to the installation. Ubuntu works with most PC hardware, but it's always better to
test it out beforehand. Make sure you can access the internet and get audio and video
playback. Going to YouTube and playing a video is a good way of doing all of that at
once. If you need to connect to a wireless network, click on the networking icon at the
top-right of the screen. There, you can find a list of wireless networks and connect to
yours.

Once you're ready to go, double-click on the Install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS icon on the
desktop to launch the installer.

Choose the language you want to use for the installation process, then click Continue.

Next, choose the keyboard layout. Once you've made your selection, click Continue.

You have a few options on the next screen. You can choose a Normal or a Minimal
installation. For most people, Normal installation is ideal. Advanced users may want to
do a Minimal install instead, which has fewer software applications installed by default.
In addition, you can choose to download updates and whether or not to include third-
party software and drivers. I recommend checking both of those boxes. When done,
click Continue.

The next screen asks whether you want to erase the disk or set up a dual-boot. Since
you're dual-booting, choose Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10. Click Install Now.

The following screen may appear. If you installed Windows from scratch and left
unallocated space on the disk, Ubuntu will automatically set itself up in the empty space,
so you won't see this screen. If you already had Windows 10 installed and it's taking up
the entire drive, this screen will appear and give you an option to select a disk at the top.
If you have just one disk, you can choose how much space to steal from Windows and
apply to Ubuntu. You can drag the vertical line in the middle left and right with your
mouse to take space away from one and gives it to the other. Adjust this exactly the way
you want it, then click Install Now.

You should see a confirmation screen indicating what Ubuntu plans on doing. If
everything looks right, click Continue.

Ubuntu installs in the background, but you still have some configuration to do. While
Ubuntu tries its best to figure out your location, you can click on the map to narrow it
down to ensure your time zone and other things are set correctly.

Next, fill in the user account information: your name, computer name, username, and
password. Click Continue when you're done.

Once the installation finishes, reboot your PC.

If all went according to plan, you should see a screen similar to this when your computer
restarts. Choose Ubuntu or Windows 10; the other options are for troubleshooting, so I
won't go into them.

Try booting into both Ubuntu and Windows to test them out and make sure everything
works as expected. If it does, you now have both Windows and Ubuntu installed on your
computer.
