<div>You have to create a special boot partition, and it was in fact kind of a pain, but it's possible once you understand it.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Reading the OPs original question though, given that what they want is to give their friend a chance to see Linux in operation alongside Windows without doing anything destructive, I'd agree with others that the best choice here is simply to install VirtualBox into windows 10 and get Linux running that way.<br></div>

<div> <br></div>
<div> I am currently attempting to install Kubuntu 18.04.1 on a HP
Pavilion 15-cr0001ng notebook which came preinstalled with
Windows 10 Home Edition. In preparation, I shrunk the C: drive
to get some 400GB of free storage on the (single) HDD. I then
booted the Kubuntu 18.04.1 DVD (via an external drive)
downloaded from <a href="http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/18.04/release/kubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso">http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/18.04/release/kubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso</a> <br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Unfortunately, the only options the installer offers are
to use the entire disk (which I definitively do not want) or
to do some manual "juggling" (which I'd like to avoid), see <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RurYPo9djb1wHYhe2YoAUu0ZblwLPn9U">01_installation_type.png</a>.<br></div>
<div><div><br></div>
</div>
<div>Both the "Installation type" and the "Prepare partitions"
steps clearly show the Windows installation and also the
free space intended for the Kubuntu installation (see also <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1m0ZKXkwOuZSfbRXS8dw5cjg1oMhVDrY5">02_prepare_partitions.png</a>);
yet, there is no option to install Kubuntu alongside the
Windows installation (without having to resort to manual
modification of partitions.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I also selected "Try Kubuntu" first, followed by an
upgrade of packages via WiFi (hoping that maybe also the
installer would be updated to a newer version). Without
effect.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Is automatic installation alongside Windows really not
supported? Did I miss something?<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>See attachments for the output of parted and efibootmgr.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Two additional questions:<br></div>
<div><ol><li>Is it possible to either install solely to the spare
partition (without *installing* grub but booting grub from
the DVD and from there starting the HDD based Kubuntu) or to
remove grub later on (if I should decide to revert to a
Windows-only notebook)?<br></li><li>The live DVD did not detect the built-in WiFi (I had
to use one connected via USB instead) which is a RealTek
RTL8821CE [10ec:c821] (see attached lspci.txt). Is this
expected?<br></li></ol></div>
<div>Thanks in advance for your support.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Kind regards<br></div>
