I am trying to to istall ubuntu (desktop 14.4) on my computer running windows 10 home (as dual operating system). I have an empty 100 gb partition on the disk; do I have to format it first.

  • Why does it matter to you to format or not to format If it's empty ? – storm Apr 04 '16 at 15:34
  • UEFI or BIOS? If pre-installed Windows then it will be UEFI. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI Also shows Windows 8 screens or similar to Windows 10 http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-uefi-supported-windows-8-system – oldfred Apr 04 '16 at 16:11

The Ubuntu installer will format it.

Make sure you have read the installation guides before you start.
