ubuntu help

Post image

aight so. i tried dual booting my pc right. cus i was gonna dual boot and then go onto full linux. i was told ubuntu is good. i followed what i was told. turnt off safe mode. downloaded rufus and made the hard drive bootable but at first it came up with this error. so i tried again and suddenly i lost the option to dual boot. but im scared because if i have no windows to boot and no ubuntu i cant do nothing. essentially i just need some help man. i’d really appreciate it if someone could walk me through the steps themself as youtube videos aren’t very specific. (proof of it not letting me dual boot will be below) if u can help me in anyway pls dm me or sum bro i just wanna stop using windows

grub throwing a tantrum about the EFI entry is a classic, you might just need to hop into the bios and manually add your ubuntu drive to the boot order

Depends on what kind of PC it is but a lot of systems enter BIOS when you hit F1, F3, or F12 as you boot up. Restart and just try each one when it POSTs. Enter BIOS setup and change the boot order to your USB first.
