Windows 10 is preventing me from loading Ubuntu 20.04 (from an iso-file) parallel to it (Windows). Am I doing something wrong or has Windows found a way of preventing one from doing this? Thank you for your time and expertise.

Exactly how are you using the .iso ? – Soren A Mar 14 '21 at 21:00

It's very unclear what problem you are encountering with Windows. Please edit your question to provide more detail. – user535733 Mar 15 '21 at 00:06

You need to extract the ISO file to a FAT32 USB disk to make it bootable. Just putting the ISO on the disk without a bootloader will not work. I prefer 7Zip for extracting ISO's – C.S.Cameron Mar 15 '21 at 02:39

C.S. Cameron's answer applied. My apologies to the rest if I did not frame the question well - so many variables I did not know how to pose the question without getting into unnecessary detail. I was rather hoping for what happened - that someone would recognise a simple solution. Thanks everyone. D
