<div dir="auto">The Ubuntu installer can do the partitioning, when
you start it in a computer with Windows already installed. Try
it, and if it does not work as you want, you can do it
manually.

If windows is already installed on the new box I would use partition
magic to resize the partition that windows is installed on (as there
will potentially be 3 partitions on there already, an uefi
partition, a windows system partition and the windows install
partition) to the size you want for linux. You then be able to set
up grub to dual boot linux and windows.<br>

too many issues with the old box not worth the $$ or
hassles to untangle <br>
so she is buying a new box will have 500gb hard drive and
comes with <br>
windows 10. using old keyboard, mouse, monitor.
<br>
<br>
so should be a lot easier. she wants to have them
function as two <br>
different machnes.. she has to use windows 10 for work so
is stuck with <br>
that.
<br>
<br>
should I partition with partition magic first.
<br>
or use the windows 10 which will be installed from the
source (with disk) <br>
and use it's partitioner, but will this allow linux to
boot or somehow <br>
have to go thru windows.
<br>
<br>
I have only ever done it with blanking the hard drive,
using partition <br>
magic or other to make two partitions (suggestions as to
sizes) and then <br>
load windows on one partition and kubuntu on other
partition.
<br>
<br>
thanks
