I want to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10, but I keep running into trouble.
First I tried to create a bootable USB drive, to test Ubuntu, and then install it. While creating the bootable drive went just fine , but booting from it didn't:
So, I searched for a way to install Ubuntu without a cd/usb drive, and found this (first answer).
That worked, and I chose "Try Ubuntu", to see if everything was working. It was, so I installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 10. I had previously set up 100 GB of unallocated space, because I was told Ubuntu would format it and use it.
After the installation was done I rebooted, but there wasn't a boot option for Ubuntu. The only options were Windows 10 and Unetbootin, the same as before I installed Ubuntu.
I checked if Unetbootin would maybe just boot straight to the freshly installed Ubuntu, but I was just presented with the same options as before ("install ubuntu" and "try without installing").
So I booted Windows, to see if Ubuntu had taken up the previously unallocated space of 100 GB. The stuff I marked with red was previously 100 GB of unallocated space. Now it's 2 partitions that I can't access with Windows, so Ubuntu must be installed on there, right?
If I'm not wrong, that means Ubuntu is actually installed, I just can't boot to it for some reason. I have been looking through the boot options on my motherboard, but can't find an option to boot to ubuntu. But I found out that my printer is listed as a boot option lol.
Also: for some reason Windows Defender has now blocked me from using Unetbootin.exe... No idea why
If you know what I need to do in order to solve this mess it would be much appreciated!
