I have an Acer Aspire V3575G with Windows 10 installed (UEFI mode) and I want to dual boot with Win 10 and Ubuntu 16.04.
I've followed several tutorials, I've read a lot, I also asked my friends who already have dual-boot in similar conditions (not my PC model) and they can't do it either on my PC.
Here are the steps I've followed:
- Make a bootable USB drive using RUFUS (MBR partition or UEFI BIOS)
- Shrink my HDD to create free space to Ubuntu (50 GB, I know it's plenty enough)
- Boot from USB drive and select Install Ubuntu in Something else
- Disable Secure boot (I also did it in the BIOS, UEFI or whatever spamming F2 key)
- Created a swap partition (4GB) and ext4 partition with the free space
- Installed alongside Windows Boot Manager
The installation worked fine, without any problems. After a reboot (asked by Ubuntu installation) my PC boots on Windows, it never takes me to GRUB menu no matter what I do. Additionally, I've disabled Fast Boot, tried to change the order of bootable devices and some BIOS/UEFI configs (like legacy mode) and nothing.
Does anyone have a suggestion? It would be very helpful.
