How to Install Ubuntu 19.10+ alongside Windows 10

Preparation

1. In the laptop BIOS enable Legacy Boot (if the laptop supports UEFI/Legacy Boot) as dual-booting is problematic on UEFI enabled hardware.
2. When booting enter the BIOS boot menu (e.g. by pressing F12) and select Legacy Boot.
3. Create the required logical partions on the drive for Windows 10 and leave unalocated space for Ubuntu 19.10+.
