Apologies if this question has been answered but i couldn't find the solution.
I attempted to dual boot my Windows 10 PC with Ubuntu 18.04(I think that was the version number?). After going through all of the steps of a YouTube video, when i attempt to boot to my main drive (that has both operating systems installed on it), it just bypasses the drive and boots to my removable media with the 'trial' version of Ubuntu on it(which is what i'm using right now).
Here's what i did to dual boot:
Created 50GB of free space on my 250GB NVMe SSD (Had around 150GB already used). I had to disable some settings to make Windows 10 allow me to do this.
Installed Ubuntu ISO onto a pen drive.
Restarted my PC.
Changed boot order so that the pen drive was at the top of the boot order.
Selected install Ubuntu on the grub menu.
Instead of selecting "install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10" i selected "something else" as the first time i tried this with the first option it didn't work.
Deleted the partition that had the previous Ubuntu installation on it.
From the 50GB free space i created 8GB of swap area as i have 8GB RAM in this PC. (Not sure why but the video told me it was important)
Then double clicked the other free space and selected "/" from one of the menus (Can't remember what it was titled)
Selected the free space and continued install.
Clicked OK and automatically restarted the PC.
Checked it was booting to the right drive.
It tried booting to the 250GB drive and failed so it booted to the pen drive instead.
Anything i missed?
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
