I'm currently running Windows 10 on my laptop. I have two primary partitions (excluding the Recovery and EFI partitions). I have my Windows installed on one partition (C:/) and use the other partition (D:/) generally for storing data. I'm planning on installing Ubuntu 16.04 but was wondering if it would be better to create a free space in the middle of the existing partitions C:/ and D:/ or at the end? (I should also mention that I'd like to access the D:/ partition in Ubuntu, too.)
Also, would "Install alongside Windows" work just as fine for me (since I already have two NTFS partitions) or will I need to go with the "Something else" option?
Also, the installation tutorial by Ubuntu says to select MBR for UEFI in Rufus. However, my current Windows installation was done with a USB created with GPT for UEFI. So, should I still follow the tutorial and MBR or should I use GPT?
Thanks in advance.
It doesn't matter where to create the free space.
Install alongside Windows should work if the HDD is in GPT.
select MBR for UEFI in Rufus is related to creating a LiveUSB. This doesn't mean that the installed system will also use MBR.
