Would like to run Windows 10 with ubuntu without deleting ubuntu

[Rajiv Gunja]

If it is a desktop, why bother with any of the partitioning? Just get a 2nd
hdd and install Windows on it.

I have done that on my desktop. Granted, I do not boot into Window as often
as people would think, but I try to boot into Windows at least once a month
to update the anti-virus, update windows patches and update any
applications I might have on it.

1. If it is a newer desktop and since Windows 10 requires UEFI boot, make
sure your ROM and ubuntu are both UEFI enabled.
2. With Windows 10, it requires a separate partition for boot, so better to
have it on its own disk than messing around with partitions or usb booting
or anything.
