If you already know how to boot into a USB you can Skip past this section.

1. Fast Boot
2. Secure Boot
3. Boot Priority

Before you restart, you must disable Fast Boot.

Why?

DATA LOSS!!! If you create a shared NTFS data partition, hibernation caused by Windows Fast Boot may maintain the current file structure. A problem arises when trying to save a file from Ubuntu into the NTFS partition, it will get lost on Windows reboot because the computer will remember the old file structure from when it was put in hibernation.

Navigate here to avoid this issue.

Modern Windows PCs produced after Windows 8's release have UEFI firmware with “Secure Boot” enabled. This helps protect against rootkits and other malware infecting the Windows boot loader, but it can also prevent Ubuntu from booting.

Now you can reboot your computer and spam F10 to get into the BIOS Setup menu.

If that doesn't work. Spam F1 F2 F8 F9 ESC or just google it.

Before you leave that menu. Find the Boot tab and move Removable Devices to the top. If you have the USB plugged in, move it to the top.

MAKE SURE TO SAVE CHANGES ON EXIT!!!

Plug in the USB if you haven't done so already, and start your computer.

Restart your computer and remove the USB drive. Your computer should boot into Grub.

The answer is as same as the Disk Management message shows that the shrink space of C: drive is limited by unmovable files such as Hibernation, Page files and system protections.

Click ⊞ Win < type CMD in the Search box< right click cmd< choose Run as administrator < enter powercfg.exe /hibernate off”< press Enter < restart.

Press ⊞ Win+R < type SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe < Press Enter < click Advanced < click Change under Virtual Memory < uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives < click C: drive < set paging file size to No paging file < click Set < click OK < restart.

Click ⊞ Win< select Control Panel < click System and Security < click System < click Advanced system settings < click settings under Startup and Recovery < Change the drop down menu under Write debugging information to None.
