Explore setting up a dual boot configuration. THE PROCESS INVOLVES SELECTING BOTH OPERATING SYSTEMS.
You're starting with Windows 10 and planning to switch to Linux—great move! For dual-booting, you'll typically need a boot manager or partition manager to switch between OSes. Some systems require reformatting the SSD before setting up the dual boot. There are tools available that let you add Linux directly to an SSD without full reformatting. Just check your specific hardware and OS version to find the right steps.
There are multiple options for achieving this. You could install it on a separate drive and access it via the boot menu during startup, or you might partition the drive so both operating systems reside on the same device—alternatively, setting up a virtual machine would allow you to test the setup.
When you set up Ubuntu, it sets up GRUB automatically during installation.
To disable the fast boot in Windows 10, follow these steps:
1. Press the power button and hold it until the PC powers on normally.
2. While holding the power button, press the left Alt key and click the "Settings" option.
3. Go to "System" > "Update & Security" > "Change settings that are currently unavailable."
4. Under "Power options," select "Turn off quick restart."
5. Click "Apply" and wait for the changes to take effect.
