When i try installing Ubuntu alongside Windows, I see only 2 options: One is to erase all data and install Ubuntu, and the other one is "Something else". I can't see an option to install alongside Windows 10.

First off, do you have Windows 10 installed on this current machine on which you're trying to Install Ubuntu?? – kelvinelove Apr 19 '16 at 09:19

I have this same issue, but there is a way to do it.
I choose "something else" and manually set up the partitions and mount points, making sure I do not remove windows (If there is no free space, shrink your windows partition but it is important to note that there are some safe practices before shrinking a windows partition! Firstly Disable Hibernation File then Disable the Page File re-enable them AFTER shrinking!)
After I install Ubuntu, I am not able to boot into windows (Which is okay, there's a fix for that!) I sign in, and run Boot Repair and then it works fine.
This only happens for me on some systems, on one system it only happened when I did not shrink my windows partition to allow space for Ubuntu first.
Good luck!
