WARNING to anyone doing this, make sure all of your drives are unencrypted and that BitLocker is turned off before turning off secure boot. Ended up having to reinstall Windows after getting stuck in a BSOD cycle due to the drive being locked.
For anyone wondering how to do it (AI generated): **Disable Secure Boot:** 1. Open Windows Defender Security Center and click on Device Security. 2. If Secure Boot is mentioned, your PC has it. 3. Go to Settings > Windows Update and check for any pending updates. Install them. 4. Navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > UEFI Firmware Settings. 5. In your BIOS menu, find the Secure Boot setting (usually in Security, Boot, or Authentication tabs) and set it to Disabled. 6. Save changes and exit. **Disable BitLocker:** 1. Open the "Manage BitLocker" option from Windows Start menu and expand the drive you want to decrypt. 2. Click "Turn off BitLocker."
You have set the bar very high for all other support videos. I am 71 years old, a retired Police Officer, IT Manager, and quite adveturous.

Sir, we all wish we could grow to be like you in our 70s, and that't coming from a 22, almost 23 years old guy! ❤ You should make videos about your life and your jobs, as i am interested in knowing what you know and what you'll know. Anyway
5:45 How are we esuring that the linux installation chooses the partition we created earlier?? It seems to me like it's by default installing to my C-drive. You should have not skipped this part. Good video overall and thanks!
And yeah, my linux partition seems to be completely unused, everything must be installed in C. Have I missed something or was this part not clarified well in the video?
This step (3:00) - creating a hard-disk partition for Ubuntu to use - can be skipped (for Ubuntu 22.04.3 - not sure about older versions). After you select 'Install Ubuntu along Windows', the Ubuntu installer gives you the option of setting how much hard-disk space Ubuntu should take from your existing available hard-disk memory. It might be simpler and a lot safer than manually messing around with your "C:" drive yourself👍
Which one is safer though? Letting Ubuntu allocate space, or doing it manually from Disk Management? and why? (Not being rude, I don't know much about this)
Yes, i dont know why, but my harddisk got encrypted by BitLocker. I tried everything to deactivate it but i cant solve it. I get an error message that say "cant deactivate because it is already encrypting. Try later" wtf can someone help?
@@taimoorali818 I am pretty sure this is how you do it. you go back into the windows partition manager and find the chunk that you put linux in, right click the linux chunk and click delete volume (it will delete any data so it is imperative that its the right volume and all valuable data is backed up), after confirming it, the box should turn gray and say unallocated with a size, next you go to the main partition right click it and click EXTEND volume, it will bring up a wizard that will have a box on the right hand side labeled "selected" and will show the amount of space that is in the gray unallocated part (it wont be an exact match but will be super close), just click next all the way through and it should reattach to the main volume. sorry if its hard to understand, i suck at putting things to words in a clear and concise way.
I have two drives in my computer. I put Linux Mint on the second drive. I followed your installation and all went well untill... the BIOS is not seeing the second drive in the Boot Order list in BIOS. Any idea what I did wrong? I hope you or another Linux boffin sees this.
6:24 i restarted at this point, removed the drive when it asked me to, and now it seems like i hadnt done anything. i dont see ubuntu in the boot list or anywhere. how do i get back to ubuntu without using the usb again?
Can i make a recovery Windows USB after I've installed dual boot? i've onyl got a 32gb usb - want to first download ubuntu onto it..install that...then dual boot is there..Then I'll go to download windows recovery to that USB?...any issues with doing this?
3:02 > _"choose shrink volume"_ how long has this option been around in windows & other OSes? woww, how come i never thought that this option would exist. i have been manually emptying the drives by moving _ALL_ of its data to some other drive, and then repartitioning the now empty drive. and because of this lack of knowledge, i was unable to proceed any further since i needed to repartition a drive containing huge amount of data. this "shrink volume" action is gonna be a life savor. sooooo great.
It's been around since windows XP, at least. I had it figured out when I was much younger and I would play around with my dad's old office PC. Ironically I ran into many issues partitioning the drive now when I'm supposedly "brainier" as opposed to my younger self getting it right in the first attempt when I had no idea what I was doing 😅.. but upon further inspection it's due to unmovable files which despite numerous efforts to get rid off or disable temporarily I haven't been able to achieve fully. So I can only shrink volume to like 30-40%.. so I had to use a third party partitioning app and it was able to get the job done. It was annoying though to do all that when I have installed Linux distros including Ubuntu before and never ran into those kind of problems.
*ATTENTION PL* In case, you are not seeing "choose os option" after you have done all these things mentioned in the video and it only open you to the windows. Boot the device again with Ubuntu as you already did. You are done? But before you restart it after Ubuntu is installed, you should see a file named "install Ubuntu version whatever LTS" on screen with Ubuntu icon.. click that file it will do some more installation or will ask you to setup uname and password if you haven't already.. Once it is complete, restart the computer, hoping it will be fine now.

Nice quick presentation. I wasn't expecting this and it was interesting as I've always installed a second drive for linux.

And thanks for setting up the give-away thing with SimplyNIC.
I had a PC with a 80486DX CPU back then running at 33MHz, and was able to dual-boot it using the Linux Slackware distro and the MS-DOS it originally had!!! The hard-disk had a total of 400MB (the PC itself I think had 8MB RAM that were being tested every time it booted up :-))
Thank you so much, I can now dual-boot Windows and Linux. One thing to add, when you switch the safe boot off, your screen might go black the next time you try to boot. To fix this, press the reset button or remove and then put back the CMOS battery. This should fix the issue most of the time.
After the dual boot I'm able to run Ubuntu without any error, but, Windows OS is resulting in an error(Automatic Repair Error). Not sure what I did wrong. How do I fix this ?

Lol. Didn’t work, bitlocker was activated and the flash drive bugged out somehow. Now I’m completely locked out from my windows account and can’t boot into Linux. What a disaster. Please don’t try this at home.
Wow, it really works! The Amazon page for the $180 KAMRUI Mini PC I ordered never once mentioned Windows, so I was surprised to find Windows 11 installed. While searching for info to wipe the disk and installing Ubuntu I came across this video. Figured if things go south I’ve not lost anything; happily things went smoothly! Everything tracked the video except: - the Ubuntu screens are a little different … not surprising after a year. - took a little fishing to find the boot order screen on this PC; again, not surprising that firmware will differ.
Nice vid! Two questions: 1. May I delete the what was saved in the USB during that process, or I may be required to use it sometime in the future for the maintanance of the OS? 2. If Ubuntu exists in the BIOS Boot Menu but doesn't boot, should I connect the USB Drive I used for that process again?
Currently, Ubuntu 24 is freezing a lot. I had to delete it and dwnld older version and prblm fixed. It's best if you install any of the previous versions.
in order to have the install along side windows option, you need to have the partitions for ubuntu already created, you can do this through windows and the ubuntu installation takes care os the configuration
You are the best of the west. I was able to do it along with what peopl say either bitlocket and blah blah also either chat gpt telling me how to turn that off lol
So I installed CachyOS and when I reboot there is no dual boot option, it just goes right into Windows 11. I went into my BIOS and went to HDD BBS Priorities and placed the Linux boot manager first but that did not make any difference at all. To be clear I installed CachyOS on an 8TB drive that is different than the 1TB NVME drive Windows is installed on. Any suggestions?
At 5:05 when I go to use a device then it shows 2 options - First being efi USB device, when I click it, it shows the selected boot device failed. What to do?

its one time, you have to plug it in, and not plug out untill you restart and it tells you to remove installation medium and then press enter, thats when you remove the instollation medium (usb) and you dont have to plug it in again
Why are you shrinking the volume in Windows the freaking Linux installer does all of the disk work. This makes the process seem daunting when it's not.

Don't listen to taking bitlocker off... see what happens. I saw some saying it won't happen. It most certainly will. And it will very much have you back to youtube, downloading a USB and disabling secure boot and never long enough to boot from a live USB installation of which is found on the Microsoft Windows 11 Help page on how to fix this problem. Either save your encryption key and back up a recovery key or both. I forgot how sensitive it was and I sent my gen 13 i7 1365u, 32gb into a boot loop and had to make my own USB boot drive as well as a boot drive now for almost every major Linux distro.
Good tutorial, but don't try it for the first time when you're drunk and angry at win 11😅. I'm just happy that the information on my laptop was worth less then my PoS laptop. But hey, in the end, Ubuntu works great and I don't hate my PC for the first time in a long while 🎉
The process was not at all as smooth with my machine, but I got it to work as well. First, right after it started booting from the installation media USB, i got a "black screen of death". As I found out this was due to incompatible drivers for the nVidia GPU I have that the installation media used. To solve this, when the screen with the options "Install Ubuntu" and "Try Ubuntu" appears, you must press the key 'e' on the keyboard, and then add the word "nomodeset" without the double quotes at the end of the line that starts with "linux", then press [Ctl]-X. Unfortunately, after doing that, when it gets to the screen to let you choose how to install Ubuntu on the disk, I only got the options "Erase disk and format for Ubuntu" and "Partition Manually", and of course I didn't want to go with either option. The problem now was that the Ubuntu installer couldn't recognize the Windows Boot Manager living on the same disk. To resolve this, I had to make sure that my UEFI/BIOS system would boot onto UEFI only, instead of using the "BIOS compatibility" mode it was using until then. I had to go to the UEFI firmware settings, and "disable" the "Launch CSM" option, disable the "Fast Boot" option of the motherboard itself, and finally, change the "OS Type" of the "Secure Boot" option in my firmware settings to "Windows UEFI Mode". After saving these changes to the firmware (after I had made sure all my disks were partitioned using GPT), I re-formatted the USB using Rufus, but this time selecting "GPT" as the "Partition Scheme". And then, following the same instructions as in the video, but also making sure to hit 'e' to edit the command line parameters to include the "nomodeset" when asking to install or try Ubuntu, at last I was able to correctly install Ubuntu 23.04 alongside my Win-11 Pro installation. A long process due to the fact that my PC was using "BIOS compatibility" settings when booting from UEFI...
Precaution:: Please flash format your USB bootable drive. I spend a whole ass day almost trying to find the fox. It caused the "curtin command failed" error.
Cany anyone please help. I followed the exact procedure but now I am not able to boot my windows. Just ubuntu is being loaded and when I select windows boot manager in the black screen it shows diagnosing your PC and leads to a blue screen error.

I have seen multiple tutorials that say you need to turn off secure boot, but I don't understand why. When i google ubuntu secure boot it says that ubuntu works with secure boot even while installing it. Is there a specific reason for disabling it?
I installed ubuntu on another disk partition( free) but it still deleted my windows 10 but kept its files. Is it possible to reinstall windows 10 so that I can be able to access it's files while also retaining ubuntu?
After about a month after dual boot, I found my Ubuntu not showing although the space is still there. I have just deleted the rufus in my windows. Is this the reason why it is not showing ??
I believe after 1 year of making this video, there is no need to partition the drive , as before final loading, the installer is refusing to recognise this unallocated space and asking to make space for ubuntu
Yo man Everything was going good until I had to burn Ubuntu. My installation media is plugged in and on choose a device option, there 13 different options no matter it is plugged it or not. USB flash drive isn't working How to fix this
I am getting "this computer has no detected OS". There is no option to install it along side windows. Infact i do have windows 11 installed and running fine.
ok so i can get everything, and i follow it to a tea. but as soon as i go to "use a device" only ipv6, and ipv4 show up. does anyone know what that is, or how i can fix it?
I can't get to UEFI settings because my Windows Boot Manager only gives me one Option and that's startoptions, which doesn't lead anywhere useful. Any ideas, how i can enter the UEFI settings?
you've probably figured it out by now but if not, look up your computer manufacturer BIOS key. When you find that key, restart and dont stop holding down that key. The UEFI should pop up.

hub 6-0:1.0: config failed, hub doesn't have have any ports!(err-19). Showing like this. Also updated system graphic card and system by getting into nomodeset cmd but same problem while booting to linux. Device: laptop Lenovo loq gen 9 amd 7 7000 series 4050 rtx. Please someone help me to solve this
CAN THIS BE DONE SIMILARLY FOR WINDOWS ON LINUX...?
MEANING DO THIS ON LINUX OS....?
Lol. Didn’t work, bitlocker was activated and the flash drive bugged out somehow. Now I’m completely locked out from my windows account and can’t boot into Linux.
What a disaster. Please don’t try this at home.
Wow, it really works!
The Amazon page for the $180 KAMRUI Mini PC I ordered never once mentioned Windows, so I was surprised to find Windows 11 installed. While searching for info to wipe the disk and installing Ubuntu I came across this video. Figured if things go south I’ve not lost anything; happily things went smoothly!
Everything tracked the video except:
- the Ubuntu screens are a little different … not surprising after a year.
- took a little fishing to find the boot order screen on this PC; again, not surprising that firmware will differ.
Did you delete bitlocker before installing ubuntu?
Probably the best video I have seen on the subject. Very helpfull!!
will you lose your windows progress? like if i have a preinstalled app like steam will it uninstall all of the old apps i installed onto it
No because Windows will be on a separate partition from Unbuntu.
Can you remove the USB key after successfully booting from linux ?
After it's been installed, yes.
@@Robtech Thanks !
1 year later, still works to the T. Best guide for install, I use etcher for flash but worked the same.
Nice vid! Two questions: 1. May I delete the what was saved in the USB during that process, or I may be required to use it sometime in the future for the maintanance of the OS? 2. If Ubuntu exists in the BIOS Boot Menu but doesn't boot, should I connect the USB Drive I used for that process again?
Delete it. Also, everything on your Hard drive. Its safer that way.
can I have a slice too
Currently, Ubuntu 24 is freezing a lot. I had to delete it and dwnld older version and prblm fixed. It's best if you install any of the previous versions.
Why i can see my windows folders in Ubuntu?
hi, what was the problem?
Thank you for this awesome step by step tutorial!
in order to have the install along side windows option, you need to have the partitions for ubuntu already created, you can do this through windows and the ubuntu installation takes care os the configuration
You are the best of the west. I was able to do it along with what peopl say either bitlocket and blah blah also either chat gpt telling me how to turn that off lol
So I installed CachyOS and when I reboot there is no dual boot option, it just goes right into Windows 11. I went into my BIOS and went to HDD BBS Priorities and placed the Linux boot manager first but that did not make any difference at all. To be clear I installed CachyOS on an 8TB drive that is different than the 1TB NVME drive Windows is installed on. Any suggestions?
At 5:05 when I go to use a device then it shows 2 options -
First being efi USB device, when I click it, it shows the selected boot device failed. What to do?
Have you got any solution?
@@ShubhankitSingh Nope 🥲
My restart time is long ... I could not click Ubuntu while restarting ... The system automatically took Ubuntu as the option and it's black screen totally now ... is there a solution to this?
😢
I did this for my old 2020 msi laptop. It works!
Mine get stuck in a blank purple screen
Question:-> do i have to plugin the usb every time i use Linux Or its just a one time thing ?
its a one time thing
its one time, you have to plug it in, and not plug out untill you restart and it tells you to remove installation medium and then press enter, thats when you remove the instollation medium (usb) and you dont have to plug it in again
But, isn't secure boot necessary for Windows 11 to work??
i think you need to be able to support it but don't actually need it enabled
@@Haloxxto install windows you need secure boot you can run it without, unless I’m mistaken. Don’t blame me!!
Why are you shrinking the volume in Windows the freaking Linux installer does all of the disk work. This makes the process seem daunting when it's not.
what if I installed Ubuntu before Windows? will the Windows installation media remove GRUB2?
Even thouhg I was getting Linux mint, I turned off the secure boot and got an error:
failed to open \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi - Not Found Failed to load image \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi: Not Found Failed to start MokManager: Not Found Something has gone seriously wrong: import_mok_state() failed
Even when I turned back secure boot I still got this error. Why? what is the solution to this problem?
Hey bro i have ubuntu install i wnat windows 10 to in my pc can you tell me how to dual boot windows. because there are only window in internet with ubuntu dual boot.
I have a Asus zenbook duo and when I get to the page where it says installation type I don't get the option to boot alongside windows. Does anyone have a fix
After installing ubuntu, should we switch on the secure boot..???
No you cant
secure boot prevents more than one os to boot in the bios
@@learnsmachine8658 wrong, i have a dual boot with fedora and secure boot enable. I have 2 efi partions 1 for windows and another for fedora.
Hey , help me out here
I followed the steps
And when I reached 4:19
I restarted the WiFi settings
So it asked for a password, I couldn't go back , I tried a few passwords( giving it a shot) and it kind of blocked me
The error is
" Enter incorrect password 3 times please power off your system and reboot it again, system halted
"
Note: I don't have power button, it kind of popped out and I use a pin to press a reset button beside SD card port ,and start my laptop 😅
Can anyone guide me here
I'm waiting for my laptop to die now coz I don't have a detachable battery
Don't listen to taking bitlocker off... see what happens. I saw some saying it won't happen. It most certainly will. And it will very much have you back to youtube, downloading a USB and disabling secure boot and never long enough to boot from a live USB installation of which is found on the Microsoft Windows 11 Help page on how to fix this problem. Either save your encryption key and back up a recovery key or both. I forgot how sensitive it was and I sent my gen 13 i7 1365u, 32gb into a boot loop and had to make my own USB boot drive as well as a boot drive now for almost every major Linux distro.
Good tutorial, but don't try it for the first time when you're drunk and angry at win 11😅. I'm just happy that the information on my laptop was worth less then my PoS laptop. But hey, in the end, Ubuntu works great and I don't hate my PC for the first time in a long while 🎉
The process was not at all as smooth with my machine, but I got it to work as well. First, right after it started booting from the installation media USB, i got a "black screen of death". As I found out this was due to incompatible drivers for the nVidia GPU I have that the installation media used. To solve this, when the screen with the options "Install Ubuntu" and "Try Ubuntu" appears, you must press the key 'e' on the keyboard, and then add the word "nomodeset" without the double quotes at the end of the line that starts with "linux", then press [Ctl]-X. Unfortunately, after doing that, when it gets to the screen to let you choose how to install Ubuntu on the disk, I only got the options "Erase disk and format for Ubuntu" and "Partition Manually", and of course I didn't want to go with either option. The problem now was that the Ubuntu installer couldn't recognize the Windows Boot Manager living on the same disk. To resolve this, I had to make sure that my UEFI/BIOS system would boot onto UEFI only, instead of using the "BIOS compatibility" mode it was using until then. I had to go to the UEFI firmware settings, and "disable" the "Launch CSM" option, disable the "Fast Boot" option of the motherboard itself, and finally, change the "OS Type" of the "Secure Boot" option in my firmware settings to "Windows UEFI Mode". After saving these changes to the firmware (after I had made sure all my disks were partitioned using GPT), I re-formatted the USB using Rufus, but this time selecting "GPT" as the "Partition Scheme". And then, following the same instructions as in the video, but also making sure to hit 'e' to edit the command line parameters to include the "nomodeset" when asking to install or try Ubuntu, at last I was able to correctly install Ubuntu 23.04 alongside my Win-11 Pro installation. A long process due to the fact that my PC was using "BIOS compatibility" settings when booting from UEFI...
Precaution:: Please flash format your USB bootable drive.
I spend a whole ass day almost trying to find the fox. It caused the "curtin command failed" error.
Cany anyone please help. I followed the exact procedure but now I am not able to boot my windows. Just ubuntu is being loaded and when I select windows boot manager in the black screen it shows diagnosing your PC and leads to a blue screen error.
Also if I try to clean install with a usb, the usb is not shown as an option in the boot menu. I am totally stuck now with Ubuntu forever i guess

FRAGE: Reicht es wirklich die Linux Partition zu löschen und man ist fertig?
Ich dachte, dass man am Bootloader noch Änderungen vornehmen muss
windows is such a crap , development on linux is way more easy
I have seen multiple tutorials that say you need to turn off secure boot, but I don't understand why. When i google ubuntu secure boot it says that ubuntu works with secure boot even while installing it. Is there a specific reason for disabling it?
I installed ubuntu on another disk partition( free) but it still deleted my windows 10 but kept its files. Is it possible to reinstall windows 10 so that I can be able to access it's files while also retaining ubuntu?
After about a month after dual boot, I found my Ubuntu not showing although the space is still there. I have just deleted the rufus in my windows. Is this the reason why it is not showing ??
My laptop keyboard stops working when using Ubuntu (External Keyboard is fine), how do I fix this issue ?
I need help
SOMEHOW when I was doing the Ubuntu install, Windows boot manager got deleted, does anyone know how to fix this?
For some reason it is disabling my realtek RTL8723DE wifi card whenever I install ubuntu
I believe after 1 year of making this video, there is no need to partition the drive , as before final loading, the installer is refusing to recognise this unallocated space and asking to make space for ubuntu
Yo man
Everything was going good until I had to burn Ubuntu. My installation media is plugged in and on choose a device option, there 13 different options no matter it is plugged it or not. USB flash drive isn't working
How to fix this
I am getting "this computer has no detected OS". There is no option to install it along side windows. Infact i do have windows 11 installed and running fine.
GUUS HELP I CANT BOOT TO WINDOWS I HAVE THE GRUB THING HOW CAN I REMOVE THIS
The problem is I have BitLocker encrypted drives and I don't wana decrypt the drives for Ubuntu.
ok so i can get everything, and i follow it to a tea. but as soon as i go to "use a device" only ipv6, and ipv4 show up. does anyone know what that is, or how i can fix it?
I can't get to UEFI settings because my Windows Boot Manager only gives me one Option and that's startoptions, which doesn't lead anywhere useful. Any ideas, how i can enter the UEFI settings?
you've probably figured it out by now but if not, look up your computer manufacturer BIOS key. When you find that key, restart and dont stop holding down that key. The UEFI should pop up.
@@WalmartFan0 No, actually I haven't. So, thank you so much for the advice! I'm not really qualified for this, so I won't edit any fancy files and later regret it. This tip is just right for me.
Can someone help? Ubuntu says there is no WiFi
Thank you very much! Should secure boot be turned on again after succesful installation?
Also THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS DON'T DO THIS ON A COMPUTER WITH IMPORTANT FILES AS A BEGINNER!

Not working when I remove usb while installing
is it needed to backup files before one perform this? any danger of getting stuck in middle and crashing the pc?
It just downloaded for me on the flash drive IG? It just doesn’t appear as ubuntu if I go to boot loaders
It's all in the details that he is not explaining.... Try again pal. Windows updates break the whole drive.
Hi i i stalled my linux with dual boot without srinking the strorage will it affect any how and can i customise is latter if i want?
You did not delete Grub from EFI partition, so every time Grub will show up and you have to select windows each and every time.
How to delete grub ? please reply asap
"And after trying this guide you just wanna go back to Windows, for whatever reason" XD
Followed all the steps but when I start the computer it goes straight to linux. How can I get back to windows?
I can’t find my Ubuntu in user s device what to do
