[johnmhigh]

During the installation of Ubuntu, if you want to ensure it installs in the correct drive, you can select "something else" and then select the exact partition to mount the "/home", create the swap space partition and select it, then install Ubuntu.

 

What I go on to select is go to disk manager on windows, shrink the windows paritition to what size I want to install ubuntu and then do it manually as above. I create the swap space partition from the one I allocated to ubuntu on the fly.

 

Regarding the windows directly booting, you need to press F12 during boot. If you want GRUB to be the default bootloader, go to BIOS/UEFI menu and adjust the priority and GRUB will be the primary bootloader, which will give you the option.

 

Hope this helped.

re installed it on to the M.2 via free space i made on the disk manager. still just boots into windows and when i use the advanced restart and select ubuntu it restarts and then a messages pops up about a secure boot violation and then it boots into windows. And pressing F12 on start up didnt get me in to BIOS it was just a message saying looking for media, no media found or somthing along those lines.

Ok so ive managed to disable to secure boot, it was DEL on start up to get to BIOS. however the boot order is Windows boot manager then CD/DVD, USB etc, there is no option for the GRUB boot manager, i can get to ubuntu from the advanced start up option but will be abit of a nightmare having to log in to windows and do this ever ytime i want to use ubuntu.
