installing ubuntu 16.04 in bios- non UEFI

I am not a computer professional but using Ubuntu from 10 onwards.My current version was 14.04 and i crashed it trying to upgrade it to 16.04 via terminal.




Then i tried with usb installation, it is showing a message like it is UEFI installation bios versions wont work forced installation or not something like that but there is no option to avoid forced installation other than back button.



i am not well versed in technical things like UEFI, bios etc. my desktop is intel pentium CPU G2030 @ 3.GHZ bios version EBH7710H.86A.0100.2013.0312.1351. already it contains non working 14.04 and a windows 10 bootloader which also not working.




  1. can i install 16.04 in this PC? is this PC compatible to 16.04?

  2. should i give permission to do UEFI? will it damage the BIOS permanently that means mother board software damage??

  3. i need ubuntu only in this PC, no need of other OS.
