  • Always backup, unless your data is not important. – xangua Dec 04 '16 at 17:59
  • You say you want to "format the c drive". Do just want to repartition it to set up a dual boot (keep windows and install Ubuntu alongside), or do you want to format it and get rid of Windows? – NeoTheThird Dec 04 '16 at 18:46
  • I'd recommend keeping Windows 10 just in case you need to do something like updating your BIOS, or running a Windows app that has no Ubuntu counterpart. Install Ubuntu in a dual-boot configuration (along side of Windows installer choice). – heynnema Dec 04 '16 at 23:35

You can do that during the Ubuntu Install.

When it ask you How you'd like to install it.

Select the option that says I'd like to do something else.

On the next screen is the partitions:

  • Select the C Drive
  • Format it
  • Install Ubuntu on the newly formatted drive

If you DO NOT know what you are doing, you could always unplug the other drives and just wipe and install Ubuntu

  • There are 3 problems with this answer. First, Ubuntu does not refer to drives or partitions as C Drive. Second, Ubuntu needs at least 2 partitions, / and swap. "Format it" does not explain what mount point or what format type. Third, often D, E and F drives are not separate physical drives, but partitions in a single drive. They can't be unplugged. – user68186 Dec 09 '16 at 15:35
