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.

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.

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.

For anyone whose Ubuntu installation fails use the 'Delete volume' method shown in the last section (7:31) and try again.
Great tutorial! 👍

Very short and precise. straight forward, so helpful thank you

[jimaustin]

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.

1 year later, still works to the T. Best guide for install, I use etcher for flash but worked the same.

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👍

I hate windows so much at this point that I'll take anything, the only reason I haven't completely switched is because of Gaming

[claudeesteves]

this is the best guide ever. everything from partition to installation was wonderful. thank you for the guide!

[firmansah]

Thanks a lot, it works for me. I use 2 SSD NVME M.2 and installed the Ubuntu on disk 1 and the Windows 11 on disk 2. So now I've two separated OS and separated memory allocation

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.

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.

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!

[dimebag]

Got to disable bitlocker, but this video was all in all very precious. Thanks!

[victorivanov]

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.

Worked! Thanks bro! I was worried when my eyes didn't see the Windows boot loader. But my eyes were wrong

I never saw better instructional video on whole YT ever, nevermind if its PC related or not. Reason?

I think il go to explore more of this chanel, thanks and God bless you..
