The ubuntu stuff may or may not match
The stuff which is worth noting carefully is
- shutting down windows in full shutdown (not hibernate) mode
- partition from windows not linux.
I prefer to break off the chunk in windows and then further
partition in linux
- choice of secure/legacy settings in the bios
These may not match but its good to know
