Dual System Installation: Win10 + Ubuntu16.04

Foreword

In this article, we will delve into the process of installing a dual system, combining Windows 10 with Ubuntu 16.04. This tutorial is part of a larger project that involves building a dual system, using Linux, installing Caffe-GPU version, and achieving target detection and transplantation models to Android mobile terminals. This paper will provide a comprehensive guide on how to install Ubuntu 16.04 alongside Windows 10.

Download Linux Mirror

To begin, we need to download the Linux mirror. First, visit the official Ubuntu website at https://cn.ubuntu.com/ and choose Ubuntu Linux desktop. Then, select the version you wish to download, either 16.04 or 18.04. For this tutorial, we will choose 16.04.

Select Version

For Ubuntu 16.04, select the 32-bit or 64-bit version, depending on your computer’s architecture. Most modern computers use 64-bit architecture, so we will select the 64-bit version. The download links for Ubuntu 16.04 are:

Download the Floppy Disk through the System and Make U Disk

To create a U disk, we need to download the floppy disk through the system. This can be done by searching for “floppy disk” on Baidu or other search engines. We will use the following link: http://xiazai.zol.com.cn/detail/11/105025.shtml

After downloading the software, open it and select “Open” to choose the ISO file. Then, select the write disk image option and choose the U disk as the target device.

Disk Partition

Once the U disk is created, we need to partition it. Right-click on the U disk and select “Manage” to open the Disk Management tool. Select the U disk and create a new partition with the following settings:

  • Swap: 16G (virtual memory)
  • Main: store Linux file system
  • Boot: store the Linux kernel (UEFI does not require this setting)
  • /usr: store user programs
  • /home: store user files

Set BIOS, U Disk Boot

Enter the BIOS settings by pressing the F2, F12, or F10 key during startup. Set the U disk as the first boot device and disable Secure Boot. Save the changes and restart the computer.

Install Ubuntu

Insert the U disk and enter the installation interface. Choose the language and keyboard layout, and then select the installation type. We will choose the “Something else” option to customize the partition settings.

Partition

In the partition settings, create the following partitions:

  • Swap: 16G (virtual memory)
  • Main: store Linux file system
  • Boot: store the Linux kernel (UEFI does not require this setting)
  • /usr: store user programs
  • /home: store user files

Set the Boot

After partitioning, set the boot settings. We will use the EasyBCD 2.3 software to set up the boot menu. However, we will also provide an alternative method to set the boot settings directly in the BIOS.

Solution

If you encounter any issues during the installation process, refer to the following solutions:

  • Pro1: incomplete installation interface display
  • Pro2: last boot problems
  • Pro3: install Ubuntu stopped at the old interface
  • Pro4: restart the computer after the installation is complete ubuntu error: BUG soft lockup solution
  • Pro5: solve Sogou input method can not be installed the problem
  • Pro6: Ubuntu Sogou input method can not switch between English and Chinese
  • Pro7: After Bahrain dual system, linux and windows conversion time last windows confusion
  • Pro8: Linux (Ubuntu16.04) to adjust the screen luminance (brightness control bar disappears question)

By following this tutorial, you should be able to successfully install a dual system with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04.
