  • Ubuntu desktop and server releases have a yy.mm format (being the year.month of release) so there is no desktop release titled Ubuntu 16. There is Ubuntu Core 16 being a specialist snap based release intended for IoT appliances & devices, but it doesn't have a GUI or graphical user interface and isn't a good system for a ex-XP machine (which I assume is desktop or laptop). Clarify your release please. I wouldn't expect changes to boot.ini or bootbak files, Ubuntu uses a boot manager that is usually grub that doesn't use those files, you select which drive it'll go on though. – guiverc May 06 '20 at 11:57

  • Does this answer your question? Can't boot into Ubuntu in Windows 10 / Ubuntu dual boot – karel May 07 '20 at 08:57
