    install ubuntu along side Win?

    Hi guys;i've been trying to install Ubuntu along side Win 10TP in my Lenovo ThinkCenter71; Intel (core)tm) I5 2400 CPU 3.10GHZ,
    Mem 3.8GB,Socket 1155, Video card ATI 6450, HDD Sata 500.

    i try to follow instructions bellow link,

    i wonder why in the auto partitions it doesn't show ''install along side '' as it should like in this Picture, see pic.

    already used LVM and others but can't get a boot menu.

    You need to find instructions for Windows 8/8.1 not 7. The partition structure on 10 with a GPT partition is not like 7.

          You're welcome ivtec. The partition structure is different of 8/8.1, an iso is a disc image and has to be burn to a DVD before it can be used to install Windows 8/8.1.

          From experience i've had to use a Windows 8.1 PC to read another Windows 8 hard drive i'd inserted as a slave, my Windows 7 PC would recognise but not read the disc.
