How Do I Install Ubuntu and Windows on the Same Computer?

Can Linux and Windows be installed on the same computer?

This article also assumes that Linux is already installed on the hard disk using Linux native and Linux swap partitions, which are incompatible with the Windows operating system, and that there is no free space left on the drive. Windows and Linux can coexist on the same computer.

Is it safe to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10?

Normally it should work. Ubuntu is capable of getting installed in UEFI mode and along with Win 10, but you might face (normally solvable) problems depending how well the UEFI is implemented and how closely integrated the Windows boot loader is.
