I am using Windows 10, recently I want to move Ubuntu 18.04, and for some reason I can't completely uninstall Windows 10 now, So I want to use Ubuntu 18.04 along with Windows 10. But the problem is: When I run the Ubuntu Installation, it does not show Install Ubuntu alongside Windows. Which is expected by me, as previously I've used Ubuntu [ From 15.10 to 17.10 ] with Windows 7. So I don't try Something Else option to install Ubuntu, because I am in fear if I won't access Windows 10 from GRUB.

Anyway, currently Windows 10 is installed in Legacy BIOS mode & I think Ubuntu want UEFI.

So, can anyone tell me, is it possible to install Ubuntu in Legacy Mode? If yes than how?

Yes! I had the same problem and solved it by using Universal USB Installer that uses legacy mode.

I found out about Universal USB Installer and the fact that it writes to the USB in legacy mode from this recent post on It'zGeek in a section under Step 2, describing how to "Create a bootable USB disk" with Windows.

When I booted from this image, then the legacy Windows 10 installation was recognized and I was able to install Ubuntu 18.04. The only condition is that Universal USB installer is a Windows program, so I had to use Windows to make the legacy mode Ubuntu 18.04 live USB, which is not a big deal.
