operating system installation and system should be configured as dual boot with both windows and

linux.

Definition :- .Generally, we use operating systems to perform day-to-day tasks. So what would you do
if your OS was corrupted or lost? You will try to recover or at last, you end up reinstalling the OS.

To install the OS you need bootable media & you need boot media creation tools for the creation of
bootable media.

STEP 1: Unallocating the Required amount of Hard Disk Space


This step is required to free up some space from your NTFS formatted Hard Disk. This unallocated
space will contain the Linux System Partition and hence it is necessary for you to decide carefully how
much space you will be devoting to linux

This would reduce the space of the present volume by 100 Gb and the
remaining 100 Gb would be shown as Unallocated Space. This Completes
the 1st Step.
STEP 2: Creating a Bootable Linux USB Drive
For the purpose of this article, we will be installing ‘Ubuntu’ as the Linux OS
of choice as it is the most popular Linux OS and has a large support base.
We first need to Download the Disc Image File (.iso file) of the Ubuntu OS
from the Official Ubuntu website (www.ubuntu.com).
Bootable Drive is one from which the machine can load the OS without
installing it.

STEP 3: Disabling Secureboot and Fastboot (Only for Newer


Machines)
 Attention! To ensure successful installation of Ubuntu, it is important to
disable BitLocker and secure boot from your bootable drive. It should be
noted that in most modern machines, there is only one drive for booting
and storing data, and disabling secure boot without disabling BitLocker
may automatically trigger security measures that prevent the installation
of Ubuntu.


This step is not required for older machines say, older than 2012.

Now this step of the Process is manufacturer specific. I suggest you to


Google a bit to get the exact key combination you need to press during the
machine startup that will get you into the BIOS/UEFI Menu.
STEP 4: Booting Ubuntu Linux From USB Drive
 In the next step we boot Linux from the USB Flash Drive we just created.
To do this we enter into the ‘Boot Options’ during the machine starts up
but before windows starts loading. The ‘Boot Options Menu’ is shown
below:

 First Bootup of Ubuntu Linux:


STEP 5: Installing Ubuntu Linux
 Once Ubuntu has booted off the USB Flash Drive you can try out the
different applications that the linux distribution has to offer and once you
verify all the basic functionality of the OS that you will be using work on
your machine, we can proceed with the installation. Run the ‘Install
Ubuntu’ icon
