I just bought a HP Pavilion with an I5 processor and 12 gigs ram and 1 TB hard disk. It, of course, has windows 10 on it and I would like to dual boot with kubuntu 16.04. In order to get the USB flash drive to boot, I had to enable the Legacy Support option in the bios System Configuration. I also had to change the Legacy Boot Order by moving 'USB Diskette on Key/USB Hard Disk' option the top of the list. Now I was able to re-boot and press Esc during the boot to enable a short menu that allowed me to select F9 which allowed me to select the USB flash drive as the boot device. Took a while to figure out the steps, but the USB drive successfully booted and allowed me to begin the install.
I am unsure of how to proceed, however. When I get to the step where I select the disk partitioning options, I selected the option 'Guided - resize SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #3 (sda) and use freed space". This appears to carve out some space for Kubuntu, but is that all I have to do? I have seen some online stuff saying I have to repartition the space using a windows utility. Is this true?
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
