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
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."
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.
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!
I never saw better instructional video on whole YT ever, nevermind if its PC related or not. Reason? I got all i need, and even more, i learned some realy cool tricks and shortcuts and functionalities and so nicely explained and shown that no one, no one can ever make a mistake. I think il go to explore more of this chanel, thanks and God bless you..
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.
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.
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 :-))
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.
@@saptadipdas343 When you need to remove the dual booted machine you just deleted that volume and you have to remove the grub boot from the system partition.
@@saptadipdas343if you not using linux anymore and only want the pc to boot directly to windows like normal, you have to remove grub for not have to do some extra work when start pc
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.
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?
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'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
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
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?
@@dave_r To the best of my knowledge, no. I found the easiest way was to boot off a usb stick with mint, the Mount the efi partition, and delete the Ubuntu folder. It ca be done using the CLI in Windows, but it’s a bit complicated, though it is possible to Google the method for a clean removal. Hope this helps.
Trying to daily drive Linux even though I am a Windows power user and always have been, and I am familiar with Linux (Kali, Mint, Parrot) but I’m trying to daily drive Linux it’s going to be hard so wish me luck
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?
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
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 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 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 ?
Hello a bit late but, What you need to do is try and run the windows repair because the Microsoft Defender is recognizing Ubuntu as a malicious software on your drive, that or your computer, after partitoning doesn't have enough space in order to be able to run Windows.
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?
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?
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...
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.
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 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 ??
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?
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
Good video, However do more research before removing Ubuntu. The Ubuntu boot loader takes precedence over the windows so following this step without enabling windows bootloader might brick your system. Speaking form experience
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?
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.
After selecting install Ubuntu alongside it is telling me to turn off BitLocker even though I turned it off and I am not able to go further What should I do ?
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
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.
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.....
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?
