at first.

I used to use Ubuntu 18.04 on my old laptop.

now I bought a new one [HP] and wanted to replace the current windows 10 on my new laptop with Ubuntu 19.04

the laptop use UEFI 'what ever' and save-boot I have read something about this on google It's prevent the boot for some linux distros if they install alongside windows.

so If I just install Ubuntu over the whole disk [and removed windows] will this make some problem to me because I don't really know how this work and what is the advantages or disadvantages of such thing

Should I disable the save-boot before installing Ubuntu or all this will never matter after the installation

    Welcome to [ubuntu.se]! Your post contains more thoughts than a question ([ask]). What is your actual intent? Do you want to keep, or replace Windows? And what have you tried so far? Modern Ubuntu can be installed on a UEFI system, both as a single system or dual-boot, see How do I install Ubuntu alongside a pre-installed Windows with UEFI? – Melebius Jun 26 '19 at 11:25
  • Just 1 thing; if you leave the recovery partition as it is you can always restore the system to the old state(ie. windows) – Rinzwind Jun 26 '19 at 12:29
  • If just starting out with Ubuntu, better to dual boot or keep Windows for now. And do a full backup of Windows to another drive or larger flash drive, some install options will erase entire drive including recovery or backup partitions on drive. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI Also shows Windows 10 screens or similar to Windows 8 https://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-windows-10-with-uefi – oldfred Jun 26 '19 at 16:30
