Problem with Mint 19.2 and Windows 10 dual boot on installation
by bscho from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VYVT)
There is a problem with Mint 19.2 and Windows 10 dual boot on installation with the latest Windows 10 August 17th 2019.
On installing when you have Windows 10 when it finds Windows. It no longer gives the option of installing alongside Windows as the first option. Only giving complete install.
Installing on many clients this is always coming up with this latest version.
I am now having to ensure that they first in Windows do a disk management and shrink.
If there was a possibility of when you do the install in Something Else you could shrink the NTFS partition that would be good.
It would be even better if at the install on the first radio button if it said do you want to dual boot then see options.
1. saying quit and in windows shrink the drive with disk management.
2. saying choose Something Else and shrink the larger NTFS partition.
Any ideas especially if you know how to shrink the NTFS in Something Else
