Installation alongside Windows 10 Home Edition

[girard henri]

Why don't you use virtualbox ?

You don't need 400 Gb storage. I installed a ssd of 250 Gb for linux and 
kept w10. From the BIOS, activate your ssd and install ubuntu. but each 
time you might have to tell at boot which drive you want ?
