I have an old enough laptop which has 64Gb internal storage and it has Windows 10 already installed on it. I am wondering do I have enough space to do a dual boot with both windows 10 and Ubuntu?

Thanks

    This is a very opinionated question; or how much space do you need? I'm aware of people squeezing Ubuntu down to ~10gb (despite 25gb being minimum) by only using limited functions, never release-upgrading etc. Your usage depends on how much space is required; and how small can you get windows 10? What software do you actually need etc? Only you can decide that – guiverc Oct 16 '19 at 11:41

If it were me, I would use VirtualBox: a completely free virtual machine manager produced by none other than Oracle Corporation -- yeah, "the big database people," one of the largest and richest software companies in the world. It runs on everything and is very efficient. You simply install and run Linux in a window on your existing Windows host, without changing anything. (VirtualBox will manage the "hard drive" for Linux using ordinary Windows files.) I do this all the time, and it works fabulously. To me, "dual-boot is for the birds."
