What it is
A short screen-recorded tutorial from SMMottershead showing how to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7, 8 or 10 on either EFI or BIOS systems. It walks through shrinking a Windows partition, creating Ubuntu partitions and running the installer, and the uploader says the steps still work for later releases like 20.04.

Yes, shrinking the D or E drive can work. Look at this video [this video] . For USB bootable OS, do this : Download ISO file of ubuntu (any version) Download Universal USB Installer (UUI) from here [LINK] Connect your USB drive and run UUI and follow the process. After 10-20 minutes it will create a bootable USB. Restart your system and boot from the USB drive. Install it and enjoy Ubuntu on your system.
