How to make dual boot without usb? I downloaded unetbootin but when i make my harddisk as bootable disk it only shows Ubuntu version 20 series or below, but i have Ubuntu 22.04 downloaded
This messed up my windows boot manager from bios, everytime i have to boot into windows, i have to first load ubuntu bootloader, then select windows. please make a video to fix this issue.
@@robertbob-manuel6327 Linux is better for coding, but lacks compatibility with a lot of windows programs, namely videogames. So if you want to play games on a Linux laptop you may have to jump through some obnoxious hoops, and some games may not even run. But with dual booting you can use Linux for coding, windows for leisure and it's a goated set up
@@yeezybreezy9350 Eh, wouldn't undermine the amount of games Linux still supports, even if Windows supports much more - you can play quite a number of games on Linux technically speaking. Also, Linux is also good for leisure and everyday usage too, it's just Windows can do more things and can run professional programs that Linux doesnt support as of yet. Plus it's propietary software like Office has more features than Libre, though many people dont strictly need those added features either.
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH! I have been trying to install Ubuntu or Zorin, and I watched about 7 videos, but they were not clear... Then i came across yours, and it......... WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot thank you enough! Best youtuber ever!
This really helped a lot! 🙌 I was really getting confused with all those articles and other stuff. Your video was very simple thorough and understandable. Thanks 😄
@@SavvyNik I'm posting this reply from within the linux OS in fact. It's very snappy. The only thing I miss from Windows is a lot of the apps that I found indispensable and not available for Linux...at least yet. I'm scouring the Linux app store and doing Google searches for alternatives. :-( All I need now is an effective and ESPECIALLY "easy to use" dual boot software.... because the swapping between Win & Linux is a bit of a pain. I have to keep pressing the F12 key repeatedly to bring up the boot order menu on my Lenovo desktop. I tried Refind and another one (forget the name) that claimed to have a easy to follow GUI interface with no success. Thanks again for your very detailed tutorial. PS. I miss just pressing the win & period keys on windows to bring up the emojis. Apparently, it doesn't work on Linux. :-(
Thank you so much for this amazing explanation!, you did not hesitate to explain the something else option, which many others did not explain. Keep going like that, you earning is well deserved.
As an Admin Sys Windows who is learning to use Linux (and needs Ubuntu for Cisco training) Thank you very much for your video which is very clear (especially the Ubuntu Disk part 🙏)
Just make sure you keep making your videos as clear like this. Most especially the commentary. Especially the commentary and explaining why we select certain options.
I can heartly recommend refind for uefi machines as a bootmanager for dualboot/multiboot. Sudo apt install refind.... Awesome piece of software, lets you boot from usb or go to system setup, nice gui. I install it on every computer i get my hands on😉 Thx to Roderick Smith who made this.
The only frustration i never install ubuntu is i will have to erase my entire disk with loads of downloaded files and software when ever i try installing and it erases windows. You made it so clear man. Thank you
Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot. You got a new subscriber. I was doing the dual boot on Alienware and the BIOS was unable to detect the mounted USB when plugged in USB 3.0 port, changing the port to 2.0 worked.
Excellent, Professional Tutorial. Worker perfectly on a HP All-In-One 24 r014. Thank You for taking the time and energy to share and produce the video :)
Excellent! At around 11:53, I decided to explore installing Ubuntu on my 12-year-old Mac since the current macOS on my machine is outdated. While I aim to keep macOS for specific purposes, I partitioned the SSD in macOS and encountered some challenges recognizing the partition in the Ubuntu installer. Disappointingly, the disk selection stage in the Ubuntu installer seemed cumbersome with its greyed-out checkboxes, lacking informative metadata for decision-making, and an absence of a help button. Compared to Apple’s user-centric design, this stage in Ubuntu’s installer appears less intuitive.
If anyone gets the error "No EFI System Partition was found" when trying to install, you have to first allocate a small portion (256MB) for the EFI. Just add it before making the big partition at 10:55. Make sure to select EFI as the mounting point for the small partition. Then create the big on like in the video with the remaining space, and the install should work just fine.
Really well presented without all the drivel some people put in their videos. We dont need to see your cat or know what you had for breakfast. Possible the most detailed yet to the point video on youtube. Worked Great.
Thanks, nicely done. What does the Install along Windows do differently than what you did manually, relative to partitions and selecting the boot loader partition. I'm wondering if I can make the drive space (shrink), and then let the ubuntu install wizard take care of the manual steps.
Hi thanks for the video. I have a problem if someone can help me with. when I get to the part where I have to choose a device for boot loader installation. I don't get the option of windows boot manager. Also when I tried shrinking the storage I did not have an EFI partition nor a recovery partition. I'm stuck if someone can help it would be very cool thanks :)
Hey Nik, great video and I'm about to do this on a new laptop I got because I want to run Fedora 36 on it but don't want to format just yet because of warranty (just in case they cry foul). you should do a tutorial on how to revert back to single boot (either Linux or windows). thanks! and I subbed 👍🏻 Nevermind, found your older video explaining it 😆
I am going to install ubuntu (22.10) on its own SSD, i.e. not on an SSD shared with Windows. Would I choose "Something else" in the "Installation type" dialog? Would "Device for boot loader installation" be "Windows boot manager"?
After a traumatizing bootloader disaster, alongside a chkdsk bug that made my windows drive a raw data partition temporarily, I decided that I needed a tutorial just in case 😅 thanks a million for the easy follow along.
Great video, I followed everything step by step and it's working fine on my PC Only one problem is that it does not connect with my WiFI and asks for a password again and again
I made a mistake and chose a device for boot loader installation other than windows boot manager and it screwed Any way to re choose the device or smth??
Thanks Man!!! Thank you so much.... The only thing which was missing was your explanation of the "device for boot loader installation" option, for which I has to google. But overall, thank you for the guide. I installed correctly (Dual Boot).
After changing the boot options, how were you able to go back to the main selection page with all of the options? Did you click exit or turn off your computer and turn it on?
Nik, this is great. I am getting stuck right after the connect to wireless network screen. The install gives me a turn off rst screen that I cannot get past.
Hi, thank you for the guide! Got one question though. Boot loader install to windows boot manager will not destroy it? A little hesitate to try it... And I want to install ubuntu in a second ssd, can I follow the same procedure?
Hey, first of all thanks for the informative video! Second, I would like to know which tool did you use to capture the screen, even while you were rebooting and the BIOS. Because at that point your tool, which needed an OS, was still running. Could you please share?
Home can help separate your files from the operating system. Making it easier to transfer from computer to computer. Swap partitions are an old way of creating swap space. Now-a-days they're usually files that are designated to memory overflow and exist on the root partition.
Great tutorial 👍🏻 i am very new to Linux and would like to know wich settings do you recommend to change for a new system in terms of security after installation of a fresh OS? Ufw, firetools,ClamAV or such stuff, as a noob coming from windows i feel a little naked with just the OS installed. As we all know there is no 100% bulletproof OS, what helps to keep relatively safe? Thank god my poor 3 year shoolenglish ( and thats 34 years ago) has reached a level that allows me to follow such great videos. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 like+ abo
I have a pc with Asus Z97-A motherboard, Intell i5 4690k processor, 16gb DDR3 ram, and 3 internal hard drives.

My 3rd hard drive is a 3tb thats just for back ups. for Windows and Linux files So what are the steps for installing Linux Mint 20.3 onto my 2nd hard drive and optimizing the settings for multi-boot?
Thanks for fast response last comment it is asking me to format on the balena etcher what do i format it as im not a big computer guy so i am a bit stuck
Ok. Good video. How about some decent instruction on installing Ubuntu 22.04 dual boot on Dell XPS 8920. I have issues installing it. Specifically with intel's RST stuff. Can you point me in the right direction?

Befor I always leave a partition for linux,, But today I install a new PC I found I just need click "next", "next", "next".... then everythning is done! I only thing I have to do is change default boot order.
My Nvidia grafics doesnt work with proprietary drivers. Thas odd, but i'm using Noveau driver, no problems. TKS for the video. Very usefull. Grettings from São Paulo, Brasil.
i did it, at first Ubuntu installation was normal, until finished and needs to restart, after restart, only windows 10 booting up, Dual boot isn't working😢

@@SavvyNik thanks man, just received it, so far so good 👍🏻
@@SavvyNik one question, how small would you leave the windows partition
Depends on what you need. I'd give at least 32GB past the amount that it takes for Windows to get installed.

It works thanks. Make sure to shut down and then plug the USB back in before going into the bios otherwise it might not detect it

what did u do in the device for boot loaderinstallation, my windows boot manager does not show up

I've installed the boot loader in windows boot manager as you said. I can't see the grub menu.
sda2 or the 16MB partition is probably the Windows "swap" so Windows doesn't crash when you run out of RAM
