Dual Boot:Grub is not working properly
I bought a Lenovo Ideapad 330, so I added a SSD to make a dual boot with Windows and Ubuntu. I transferred Windows to my SSD using MiniTool Partition Wizard, then I used a USB Boot to install Ubuntu 18.04, when I first tried, the option "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10" didn't show up. So I runned Windows and made a partition for Linux, decreasing the windows partition on my ssd, after doing that, I tried again to install Ubuntu, but the option to install alongside Windows still didn't showed up. Again, I runned Windows, cleaned up and removed the partition I created and then I just decreased 30GB from Windows partition and I let it "unallocated", in the Ubuntu setup I created the partition and installed Ubuntu in this partition, also created a swap partition in my HD (2GB, i thought that was enough for my 8GB laptop) and created a boot partition with 10MB as the Ubuntu setup recommended. My real problem is: Grub is not showing up, when I go into BIOS and select "UEFI" for boot mode, it boots directly to Windows and when I select "Legacy Support", it boots directly to Ubuntu. Another detail: following instructions I found here, I created a option "Windows 10 (UEFI)" in Grub, so when I boot Ubuntu and press shift or esc (I dont remember the exact key), the Grub shows up and the option I created is there, but it dont work, if I select that, it just come back to Grub selection.
EDIT:
I booted Ubuntu by setting Legacy First in BIOS, then runned 'sudo parted -l' in terminal. (I can't get the USB Live right now). Here is the output:

Delete what you just added. Run command again. Edit your answer by highlighting all the output from the terminal with your mouse, then copy it - Ctrl+Shft+C. Paste output into question from a new line, then highlight with mouse, and click on the double braces ( curly brackets {} ). I might be able to read this then.

The bios_grub is used for grub install in BIOS/Legacy/CSM boot mode on gpt partitioned drives. UEFI & BIOS boot are not compatible, you can only dual boot from UEFI boot menu as you are. You can easily convert install to UEFI boot, using Boot-Repair and Ubuntu live installer booted in UEFI mode. Use advanced mode to totally reinstall the UEFI version of grub. help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair If still issues post link to summary report it creates.
