Just in the New Year, duang, let's learn how to install Ubuntu dual systems with a USB flash drive in win7:

(3) The online installation or non-Online installation interface is displayed: (some system versions do not have this interface. We recommend that you do not use such a system. It will be troublesome to use it later)

If the network speed is poor, we recommend that you use the "non-Online installation" method. If the network speed is good, you can use the "online installation" method (download updates during installation)

Install this third-party software: this software is used to play audio and so on. You can choose to install it or not (I chose to install it)

Click "continue)


(4) When the partition page appears, you must select the "Other Options" at the bottom and click "continue)


(5) On the system drive letter page, select free space. The following option (the device that installs the boot pilot) remains unchanged, that is, your entire computer disk (compare the size and confirm it is your computer disk)


(6) Select "+" to create a new partition:

Create four partitions: Root partition (/), swap partition, boot partition, and home partition.



Partition introduction:

Swap partition: generally 1-2 times the computer memory size (512 MB ...)

Boot partition: The boot partition of the Ubuntu system. Generally, Mb is enough (required for later boot settings)

Home partition: the user stores the file area (as big as possible)

Partition options:

Root partition: Size-10 GB recommended, new partition type-Primary partition, new partition location-space start position, used-select "/"

Interactive partition: Size-recommended 2 times memory, new partition type-logical partition, new partition location-space start position, used for-select "swap space" (/swaparea)

Home partition: Size-remaining free space, new partition type-logical partition, new partition location-space start position, used for-"/home"
