I have a laptop, where Windows 7 is pre-installed. I installed Ubuntu 16.04 with a USB-stick, using this guide https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-ubuntu-desktop with windows7 alongside.

After the installation, it restarts, but it boots directly to windows7, no dual-boot.

Using the USB-stick again, I chose Try Ubuntu and I tried to use Boot-Repair. The recommend fix didnt work. This message shows up

The current session is in Legacy mode. Please reboot the computer, and use this software in an EFI session. This will enable this feature. For example, use a live-USB of Boot-Repair-Disk-64bit (www.sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd), after making sure your BIOS is set up to boot USB in EFI mode.

Here is the from Boot-Repair generated pastebin http://paste2.org/zKgGF2s5

I dont know what to do next. Can someone please help me_

    As Boot-Repair says, you installed in Legacy/BIOS mode on an UEFI system. You can dual boot, but only from UEFI menu. And may have to turn on/off UEFI and BIOS/CSM/Legacy to have each system work in mode installed. Boot-Repair can convert your install to UEFI boot, if you boot installer in UEFI mode and then run Boot-Repair's advanced mode to uninstall/reinstall correct version of grub. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI Most Windows 7 installs are BIOS, but like yours a few are UEFI. – oldfred Oct 17 '16 at 22:15

Following the advice of oldfred, I went to help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI and tried to follow the instructions.

First, I disabled quick boot.

Second, there was an option to choose, whether what should start first, UEFI or Legacy. I chose Uefi. Then, I started with the USB-stick again and used Boot-Repair. After that, it seems to work. Thanks to oldfred.
