    Windows wants more than one. Often best just to install Windows so it can create all the partitions it expects, then install Ubuntu which now only needs / (root) as ext4 and will reuse the FAT32 formatted partition as the ESP. No need or swap either as new installs use swap partition. Having /home separate is also a good idea. Windows: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/configure-uefigpt-based-hard-drive-partitions#RecommendedPartitionConfigurations Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI How you boot installer UEFI or BIOS is how it installs. – oldfred Jul 13 '19 at 03:38

    Ubuntu doesn't need a /home partition, so why do you need one? – karel Jul 13 '19 at 09:00
  • Windows will use the entire HD, I need to leave at least 500GB free for Ubuntu, home, data backup. – isabelgobbo Jul 14 '19 at 22:08

  • by the way, my motherboard doesn't has a choose disable security boot. – isabelgobbo Jul 14 '19 at 22:32
  • If your BIOS doesn't have an option to disable secure boot, then perhaps there is no way to enable secure boot which means that is one less thing to worry about. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jul 14 '19 at 23:18
