To install Ubuntu dual boot, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Prepare a usable Ubuntu installation medium (CD or USB flash drive).
  2. Create an unallocated disk space on a Windows operating system for Ubuntu installation. You can use the “Disk Management” tool to partition the disk.
  3. Insert the Ubuntu installation media into the computer and restart the computer.
  4. When a computer starts up, access the BIOS settings interface. The method of accessing it varies depending on the brand of computer, usually by pressing F2, F12, or Delete keys. In the BIOS settings interface, change the boot order to boot from the installation media.
  5. Save the settings and restart the computer. The computer will boot from the Ubuntu installation media.
  6. In the installation interface of Ubuntu, choose “Install Ubuntu”.
  7. During installation, select “Install Ubuntu alongside Windows”. This will install Ubuntu and create a boot menu so that you can choose which operating system to use at startup.
  8. Select installation options, such as time zone, keyboard layout, and more.
  9. Choose “other” in the “installation type” option.
  10. Select the unallocated disk space previously created for Ubuntu in the partition interface.
  11. Select “Create Partition Table”.
  12. Click the “+” button to create a new partition on the unallocated space.
  13. Setting the size of partitions requires at least one primary partition and one swap partition.
  14. Click “Install Now” to begin installing Ubuntu.
  15. After installation is complete, restart the computer.
  16. A boot menu will appear when starting up, allowing you to choose between starting the Windows or Ubuntu operating system.

The above are the basic steps to install Ubuntu dual system. Please make sure to back up your important data during the installation process and carefully read all prompts and warnings.
