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. I insetalled on my 2 laptops without a hitch and it is all due to your excellent video. I liked and subscribed to your channel. Take care and continue to make difficult items very easy.
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
very informative - i've been wanting to create a dual boot setup with windows 11 and ubuntu for a while now, and this covered all the questions I had - thank you! I'm just transferring some files away from my c drive then i'm off to reformat.
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."
Nice quick presentation. I wasn't expecting this and it was interesting as I've always installed a second drive for linux. And even with Slackware (1995, no less), it impressed me that linux asked if you wanted to dual boot when it saw the Windows installation. Thanks Rob. 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 :-))
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.
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?
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
You've been away too long "BOB", we've missed you. Always a wealth of interesting and useful information. Hopefully you can get back into your usual routine
Hello! So After turning off safe boot then booting linux. It will automatically install on the free space you made before? Without telling it to specifically? Thanks!
During ubuntu installation, after connecting internet and clicking next, it asks that your system has Intel RTS installed and it has to be turned off. What am I supposed to do there? I'm using dell i7 8th generation touch screen.
After installing and restarting i get a screen saying Minimal BASH like line editing is supported. GNU GRUB version 2.06 i can't get out of this screen. Someone please help
Thank you for a great video! My Lenovo windows 11 PC wouldnt let me 'use a disk' in the reset options, so I pressed F12 during the boot (Lenovo Logo) and chose to boot from the usb drive to install ubuntu. All works well!
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
I ended up installing solus os and now I don’t get the option to boot it goes directly into solus and if I have to go into windows I have to f12 then select any help ?
if i'm changing RST to HCAI then linux is works and window is not openning and if turn on RST then window works but linux is not working what i need to do
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?
My keyboard and mouse stopped working it’s just even more infuriating because I can’t switch to windows thanks to the fact the keyboard and mouse won’t switch on until AFTER I have booted up. Do you have a fix?
I installed Ubuntu 23 first and now to be honest I forgot how to dual boot install Windows 2nd without messing up Ubuntu the hard drive has been separated I know to do that much but what's the safe way again? I remember I needed a Ubuntu boot repair disk one time.
Thanks beautifully explained ill install today in my collegues system, i want to ask you one thing which software you use to record screen even you are in bios the screen recording is nice . which tool to use thanks.....
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?
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.
When I restart, the blue screen does not appear. I figured out how to get to the blue screen using the Recovery menu in System but the option for “Use a device” does not appear. What am I doing wrong?
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?
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 ??
wow i didn't know linux lets you select boot at startup. great vid! does anyone know if you can move through that grub menu with a controller or remote? i'm considering this for a future HTPC setup
Just commenting in case someone answers your question in the future. I'm currently building a living room TV based gaming/HTPC using ChimeraOS. But I'll probably need to fall back to Windows every now and then. If I get some time next weekend I'll try it myself. If so, I'll let you know the outcome.
ohh thx for ur install guide but how to open operate system, i modified ubuntu’s grub default file, and now is always open bios i can open GNU GRUB menu, but don’t know how to revert that config T^T do u know how to fix it? thx a lot
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
i cant believe i have managed to make a piece of coloured glass and a penguin live together
Winux. Or since penguins live in igloos, Wingloo. Igloo with a tinted window

Very short and precise. straight forward, so helpful thank you
Probably the best video I have seen on the subject. Very helpfull!!
Thank you i never thought i can access to the bios that quickly like you did! instead of restarting the pc everytime you need a configuration.
very informative - i've been wanting to create a dual boot setup with windows 11 and ubuntu for a while now, and this covered all the questions I had - thank you! I'm just transferring some files away from my c drive then i'm off to reformat.
same! pretty happy with the results. thanks to this guy.
Thank you for this tutorial. It's very simple and easy to understand
This is awesome! Great work and thanks!
Great video, appreciate you adding the steps to how to revert the changes, and the shortcuts for entering BIOS
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.
How to do that?

Beautifully explained. Thank youuu for this!
Perfect.. best video on this stuff. Nice job!
Exactly what I needed to know and explained clearly and quickly, cheers mate, got yourself another sub :)
One of the best video soe far clean set up
great and clear video, wish more tutorials were like this.

When you allocate space from disk management does ubuntu automatically know to install on the empty space?
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?
but how to delete ubuntu when you're done with it?
@@taimoorali818 I am pretty sure this is how you do it.

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?
All well but as i hit enter button, black screen pop up and nothings happening, laptop not even able to shut down, what do i do? Please reply
Tanks for the video!
1 year later, still works to the T. Best guide for install, I use etcher for flash but worked the same.
Worked for me and thanks!
For anyone whose Ubuntu installation fails use the 'Delete volume' method shown in the last section (7:31) and try again.
Great tutorial! 👍
Does install Ubuntu along side option select the unallocated partition automatically?
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

Hi I have trouble after restarting, I did not get the option of troubleshooting ubuntu
Hello! So After turning off safe boot then booting linux. It will automatically install on the free space you made before? Without telling it to specifically? Thanks!
great explanation. thanks
Thank you so so much! ❤
During ubuntu installation, after connecting internet and clicking next, it asks that your system has Intel RTS installed and it has to be turned off. What am I supposed to do there? I'm using dell i7 8th generation touch screen.
Worked! Thanks bro! I was worried when my eyes didn't see the Windows boot loader. But my eyes were wrong

Hi
After installation process
Can I enable those options disabled in the bios
It said my installation of Linux failed. Like I’m at the Linux screen but it didn’t install it fully. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the tutorial. I need the Ubuntu disk to be encrypted. How can I get that?
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.
What if we have dynamic disk instead of basic type? Will it be able to detect the unallocated space?
5:51 you skipped this part really fast, so installer will automatically find unallocated partition on same drive as windows?
Thank you so much brother
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?
I did this for my old 2020 msi laptop. It works!

My windows doesnt show any device encryption option in privacy and security…. Can I move ahead safely ?
can i re enable secure boot after installling linux
My keyboard and mouse stopped working
it’s just even more infuriating because I can’t switch to windows thanks to the fact the keyboard and mouse won’t switch on until AFTER I have booted up.

Followed all the steps but when I start the computer it goes straight to linux. How can I get back to windows?
You can reenable secure boot again once ubuntu is installed or you cant?
So i did this but when i look back at diskspace the unallocated storage still says unallocated
