Installing dual boot Ubuntu 18.04 on dell xps 15 9570 RAID or AHCI

I have recently bought this a new dell xps15 9570 computer.
I have partitioned the windows such that there is a partition with ~650GB empty.
I have followed the instructions here
When I start the installation after asking for a wifi connection the installer claims there is only 4GB space and Ubuntu needs 8GB.
My guess is that it is trying to install on the USB stick for some reason.
I tried disabling secureboot, no help there.
Finally I tried changing to AHCI (from RAID on), this made the installer recognize the partition.
But on these settings Win will not upload (I tried and it doesn't find the boot). Before I continue with this. Will this be a problem later? If so how do I make the settings such that I can upload each OS that I choose?
Thanks

Are correct partition/s sizes shown on AHCI. Is Windows partition now seen? That's really what I wantedparted -lto look at. I don't know that much about RAID setup as I never use it. Why do you want to use that? Is your BIOS set to Legacy or UEFI?

If you are not bound with limited resources or budget then i suggest better keep additional hard drive and install ubuntu on that secondary drive. Since ubuntu will also create 3+ partitions for internal purpose and windows already occupying 2+ (most probably 3 in your case of branded pc), it may cause drive corruption or lost either os boot sector data (I am not expert but i have faced this many times). Having second os on separate drive will reduce risk of losing data of both os together.
Thanks
