I want to install Ubuntu on my Lenovo G510. The problem is that I can't install alongside Windows 10 for some reason. I'm reinstalling Windows 10 for other reasons, so I wondering if there is a way I can fix the problem. Also, What us swap partition and is it necessary to have? Thanks.

  • Make sure Windows fast start up or always on hibernation is off. If Windows is installed in UEFI mode, be sure to boot Ubuntu installer in UEFI mode. Shows install with screen shots. Both BIOS purple accessibility screen & UEFI black grub menu screen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI Also shows Windows 8 screens http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-uefi-supported-windows-8-system If you have 4GB of RAM or more you may only need a smaller swap. Hibernation if dual booting not recommended. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq – oldfred Feb 26 '16 at 15:00

  • @DavidCole-GrammarPolice Thanks, I appreciate your edit, But As the 'links to the answers' I have used in my Answer are of very high quality, I strongly doubt that it would be deleted. And I think providing an extremely long answer is not always helpful. I mean no offence by this. – Severus Tux Feb 26 '16 at 19:14
